Pros

Great coworkers, who unfortunately left bc of the culture and underpay

Cons

No support from management. Very 'boysclub' who just went out on their boat and weren't available to help and lead a team. But when availble were very toxic and micromanaged, would provide negative feedback, which made no sense since in all the years I was there, manager never once came out on the field with me. Said inappropriate comments I went to HR, nothing happened. Cant speak on the Lux side, this was Essilor. Its not just me, so many people left the team bc of all this so....your bullied, micromanaged, stressed, and underpaid. It would maybe be a littleworth it if you made money

Pros

- Generally, helpful co-workers. - Strong / iconic brands with dominant market positions. - Meta partnership / Smart Glasses is an exciting growth area. - Privilege of making incorrect business decisions that still yield positive outcomes.

Cons

- Low technology stack leading to many manual processes that are ripe for some level of automation. All work is basically conducted in Excel. - Company is extremely retrospective in its internal reporting versus focusing on predictive and prescriptive analyses that could be more value add. - Rank has its privilege mindset - Upper management lacks accountability for its decision making, putting the onus on lower level analysts to justify their business decisions which, many times, are made based on pre-conceived notions prior to any analytical rigor. - Similarly, many senior leaders can be abusive and outright disrespectful, which lead subordinates to take an "emperor has no clothes" philosophy when dealing with them. - Culture of fire drills with respect to assignments leading to unrealistic deadlines for critical work which compromises quality and completeness. - Company, many times, confuses tactics with strategy. - Poor communication with respect to all aspects of the business. Teams generally work in silos and crucial information is shared on a need to know basis.
