      A good salary does not justify a miserable life - Software Engineer (Swe II) IPSY Employee Review

      Pros

      - Average salary - You can be using all the technologies available, there is a great amount of freedom in that, as everyone can theoretically do anything

      Cons

      - Overworking for more than 4 months straight; weekends included - Claims inclusion, but exploits engineers - There is no bonus for extra hours - Management continues to push even when the top employees quit - Management has little or no technical understanding about quality; quality standards are not met anywhere in the company - You won't learn, as every part of the system is constantly broken. You will spend your time maintaining. - Sales driven, not technology-driven; which means 0 focus is put on engineering - The more you prove yourself to be good, the more exploited you will get - All engineers are on the "it's just the way it is at this company" boat - Before quitting I had an average 4 hours per day of meetings, and I was not a manager Every single experience in this company has been terrible for me and I know for a fact several other employees are in the same boat. The top ones cant handle it. Felt great to finally get out. If you speak up, you get fired. It's just the way it is, and it's really bad to see no "real" conflict resolution.

      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.
