Pros

The product itself has so much potential but isn't monetized properly. Wonderful people, but no clear goals. Pay isn't too bad and benefits are great.

Cons

Terrible communication and onboarding. Cross functional communication gaps. Stuck in the past and not willing to move forward with technology.

An unfortunate decline

Pros

Overall, work life balance across teams are great. Pay is fairly competitive for the market as well. Also, the company mission is admirable.

Cons

When new leadership was appointed in 2019, a slew of bad decisions were made that has unfortunately left the company hanging on by a ‘thin thread’. The products we sell are outdated and instead of innovating, we just increase prices. There have also been multiple rounds of layoffs over the past 3 years with headcount steadily decreasing - including but not limited to now having no marketing or HR team. The company is simply ‘keeping the lights on’, with no growth in the foreseeable future. If you are looking for contract work, Realself could be a good fit - otherwise, I would look elsewhere for stability.

Best place I've worked

Pros

RealSelf is the best place I've ever worked. Coming to work every day in a remote environment brings me a lot of joy - to work with people that care, people that give one another feedback, and people that are striving to drive results for their customers. Good compensation & benefits package to boot!

Cons

The aesthetics industry is small and therefore can be difficult to find scalable product market fit. RealSelf is doing its best to find more solutions for its customers, but it's not an easy path!
