Pros

A startup that has the benefits of an established company. The people are amazing to work with; very collaborative environment!

Cons

Working in the smaller office, the communication with the headquarters is really hard. The company needs to do a better job at bridging the communication gap and also making it better for work/life balance.

Dear former HelloBody employee, It's nice to read that you enjoyed so many aspects of your work with us. Thank you for your feedback! Being a team, standing up for each other and pushing each other is really something we are very proud of and of course we continue to support. Thank you also for your suggestions for improvement. In terms of communication, we have invested a lot from the beginning and continue to do so. AllHands Calls, regular surveys and team events (digital during Corona) are part of our standard repertoire. In addition, there are business review meetings for precise reciprocal exchange and also our comprehensive employee engagement survey at the beginning of this year. Learning from and with each other is equally important to us. Participation in various projects, trainings and workshops as well as community calls on coaching and mindfulness are established measures. In the future, we will further strengthen the exchange of knowledge and tailored learning opportunities. We wish you all the best and much success, both personally and professionally. Best regards, Your HelloBody People Team

Pros

The female employees were very sweet and helpful. TBH, I was interviewed by 4 different employees at HelloBody multiple times, and I was excited to work for this company until I met the CEO.

Cons

The CEO was rude and on his phone the entire time during my interview. I asked questions about the job role to get a further understanding of the responsibilities and he laughed at me as if I were asking ridiculous questions. It made me so incredibly uncomfortable. They think they know everything about the US market and don't want to hire anyone with any real knowledge or input. If you want a robot job, go for it, but I wouldn't want to work in that toxic environment where I was not valued. The CEO is offended by any sort of constructive criticism or input. They want people to take orders and do tasks. If you're looking for a leadership role, look elsewhere. They have a rigorous interview process. They work from a community WeWork office space in Hollywood with no parking. They expect you to be on call at all hours for the European teams. They require you to complete lengthy assignments to demonstrate your knowledge of marketing campaigns (possibly to gather free ideas). If you want to thrive in a role where your creative abilities are acknowledged and appreciated, don't work here.
