CAMILLA Reviews

- The interview process feels more like an interrogation, with the company pressuring candidates to guarantee a one-year stay to be considered for the role. - Management remains trapped in an echo chamber of self-praise, recycling old ideas and stifling new perspectives. - Salaries are seen as fixed and non-negotiable, with no bonuses and insulting 3% annual pay rises. Management repeatedly cites budget constraints, despite significant expenditure on the creation of new unnecessary senior roles, sample spend and team bonding holidays for a select few favourites. Not to mention, the US president likely earns over $500K AUD (based on the salary guidelines publicly advertised on the job ad), and lavish spending on influencer parties and luxury store fit-outs continues. -The design and merchandising teams are plagued by a toxic, outdated culture. Senior staff resist change, engage in workplace politics (e.g. favouritism) and prioritise brown-nosing their superiors over innovation. -Junior employees receive little to no training and are paid below market rates. Career progression is blocked, and promotions are rare, with internal candidates overlooked in favour of external hires. -Attempts to broaden skill sets or express interest in other teams are met with hostility, leaving employees frustrated and stuck in stagnant roles. -Staff are terrified to WFH lest they feel the wrath of the anti-WFH department head, despite claims of a flexible work culture - an issue that interestingly doesn't apply to certain untouchable senior employees. -Some employees are bullied into not using their paid leave, while others are granted 3 month sabbaticals to travel the world.

No career progression, backwards way of thinking
