Do you thrive on chaos? Love last-minute pivots after the work is already “final”? Enjoy being told the problem isn’t the lack of planning — it’s you? Then you might love working at LE. At LE, strategic planning takes a back seat to reactionary leadership, where completed projects are routinely overturned by sudden changes — followed by insistence that this was always the plan. Long nights and endless re-work aren’t bugs; they’re features. If you enjoy constant gaslighting disguised as “alignment,” you’ll feel right at home. Expectations shift without warning, accountability is blurred, and concerns are reframed as personal shortcomings. Prefer email? Think again. Communication happens almost exclusively in Teams, delivering a relentless stream of messages designed to keep you perpetually reactive. And if you’re considering the Marketing Communications division in particular, proceed with caution: the culture is especially toxic, making morale and trust ongoing casualties.
