Pros

Hybrid or remote schedule for some employees, fair salary, free makeup

Cons

The most disorganized accounting/finance system I have ever been a part of. Lots of skeletons hiding in those closets and management resigning left and right during audit season (lots of audit issues). Needless to say, if you dont mind being part of an unprofitable company where the average employee leaves before 1.5 years this could be a decent role. I could never take a day off without being forced by "management" to bring my laptop and do work on my actual vacation time. I never even took a real vacation while I worked here even though the managers kept changing every few months and they never knew what work I actually handled.

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.
