Pros

- Great overall culture. You'll be working with a lot of very smart and hardworking people. It's a great place to get exposure to both the tech industry and the beauty industry. The company has grown tremendously in the past few years and has still a lot of growth ahead. Good benefits and a very strong HR team that takes care of making improvements every year (recently added 401K contributions!)

Cons

Less upward mobility in certain teams. Certain changes are very slow to happen (or cannot happen until very long periods of validation through data and A/B testing) which can make it a bit slower to react than its competitors. However, this risk-averse attitude is probably why IPSY has great financials and is very profitable. Certain teams are much more overworked than others. The company has grown so much over the past few years - there are pockets of very different cultures and atmospheres between the New York, San Mateo and LA offices.

Pros

- Remote first - Kind coworkers - Fun brand

Cons

My entire career has been built on digital transformation/migration projects, but IPSY showed me a new kind of chaos. A very immature project management function coupled with constant rebrands, shifting priorities, and last-minute legal changes made it feel like they were trying to rebuild the car while it's already rolling downhill. Still a spreadsheet place. Product requirements constantly got buried in Slack. (Why are we so afraid of email?) Disjointed processes and minimal communication to contractors. (It's often the norm to treat contractors like secondary citizens, but most places will at least communicate info relevant to your job). Seems like a bad idea to lay off tech team members midway through a delayed transformation project.
