Pros

LOL none, you got laptop partial reimbursement but I think that's it.

Cons

Oh god, where do I start? I understand this is a start-up but for a skincare brand to launch and be sold - you need a solid strategy FOR AT LEAST 3 MONTHS. But nooo, the finance staff need to 'control' the marketing section as well - what a joke. Lots of people stayed in this company just because they love the beauty industry - the CEO is immature and gets mad at like... nothing? Just because someone chatted her she got SO MAD. If you're pregnant, then maybe stop working for a bit? We all know you're tired but we don't even know what kind of CEO changes north stars every week, and essentially you got no results because you changed too much. And also... do you even work in the company or do you just work just as your moods go? The Indian management are your friends, right? We can't find their LinkedIn credentials LOL, hopefully you understand you traumatise lots of people for working with Indians.

Pros

Smooth & Professional Recruitment: One of the most organized hiring processes I’ve experienced. The timeline from the initial reach-out to the final offer was efficient, and the communication from HR was consistent and helpful. Transparent Company Culture: RAENA maintains a very high level of transparency. As a Senior Revenue Manager, having clear visibility into the company's direction and financial health is vital, and the leadership here ensures that data is accessible and goals are well-aligned. Accessible C-Level & Leadership: The leaders are not just figureheads; they are hands-on and genuinely supportive. There is a "no-ego" culture where you can have direct, constructive conversations with senior management to drive high-impact initiatives. Agile & Entrepreneurial: The beauty tech space moves fast. RAENA empowers you to take ownership of your projects. If you have a data-backed strategy to improve ROI or revenue streams, the leadership gives you the green light to execute.

Cons

High-Speed Environment: The social commerce and beauty industry is incredibly dynamic. Priorities can shift quickly to adapt to market trends, which requires a high level of resilience and the ability to manage multiple complex workstreams at once. Scale Challenges: As the company scales rapidly across the region, some internal processes are still being formalized. It’s an "all hands on deck" environment, which is exciting but can be demanding during peak campaign seasons.
