      Toxic environment

      Planner
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Gratis, ability to quickly learn and gain exposure to full business.

      Cons

      Work life balance was almost non existent, complete toxic environment where management plays chess with employees careers and only promote their friends. Nearly impossible to get ahead as all promotions are pre-determined and managers only promote those within their own departments. VP and senior management have no external experience, so processes never improve as they can’t relate to how things are done at more efficient companies. Planner job is essentially a “jack of all trades” role.

      Stay Away Toxic - About IT Divison of Sephora

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Not any I can think of

      Cons

      This place is really bad for even moderately good technical people. This place employs worse of Indian school graduates whose only work is to please the 2 guys in IT deptt. I am and was the best of the breed engineer in any of my organization. I was given a very unfair PIP. I contested and send to HR that all 10 points in PIP were wrong. They hold that PIP and starting harassing me. I left and got really good position. I kept asking HR about point by point rebuttal I wrote of PIP and have no answer till today. Please stay away from this place. I am exploring my options to sue and talking to attorneys. HR just does the dirty laundry of management. No innovation or tech advance work here,

      Pros

      Well-known international brand part of LVMH. Work with exciting brands and influencers. Secure high rise office building centrally located in downtown SF. Open, airy cubicle workspaces. Work-life balance.

      Cons

      High level management exodus, broken processes across departments, elevated brand perception declining.
