Pros

Nice company culture and pretty good perks, especially if you want to be social with colleagues. There are a couple annual trips for employees that they sponsor

Cons

I was compensated significantly less than my male peers and there was no path to eventually reach parity. When I quit I was told I was higher performing than my peers and offered a promotion. We had JUST undergone a review cycle and I was rated as 'sufficient.'

Pros

Young work environment, flexibility, benefits

Cons

Overall many changes happening, many new joiners from consulting companies (too many generalists, not enough specialists), lack of transparency in some of the teams, in order to be promoted you need to be in good relationships with your manager. Also, you are encouraged to fight over projects, even with team members, which creates a weird atmosphere

We are very serious about creating a company and culture that is inclusive and innovative and we regret that your experience thus far has not reflected these values. Transparency is the fabric of everything we do, and we look to build strong and diverse teams to enhance the result of our team's hard work. We do encourage all employees to raise concerns and we provide many different ways to help employees to voice their challenges - anonymously and directly. We would love to hear from you so we can take your feedback into consideration.

Pros

the people are great & you have the opportunity to learn lots about retail by negotiating with suppliers on your own from day 1

Cons

not a friendly environment for non-consultant types, strategy changes all the time, layered up far too quickly giving very limited opportunity to junior staff of progressing quickly (even though this is what the company sells themselves on), not a very international team - everyone is German, VP thinks he is Elon Musk & is not down-to-earth at all
