Do not apply to work at dermoi. Completely not worth the time - Communications Specialist dermoi! Employee Review

I have been working with the company for a few years and have had the opportunity to gain valuable insight into various processes within the organization. One of the highlights of my experience has been the chance to collaborate with upper management, who are approachable, knowledgeable, and open to new ideas. The work environment is both professional and supportive, where asking questions and continuous learning are genuinely encouraged. This culture has allowed me to grow personally and professionally. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who is passionate about startups and the beauty industry. It’s a dynamic workplace filled with opportunities for growth within the organisation.

a fast-paced environment that may not suit all

Team members were assets to the company itself and great to work with

During my time at Dermoi, I was asked to write fake product and company reviews across all sectors. There was no direction for myself as an employee, it was a case where different work would be thrown my way which was not part of my role. I was also asked to research and help build spreadsheets of another of their businesses which is Evenswiss UK as well as work on Dermoi. There was no communication from both CEO or head of department, just endless expectations and no acknowledgment. The work environment became very toxic which was caused by the CEO Elena who's undermining, passive aggressive behaviour, and insensitive comments became an occurring thing. Where I even witnessed team members in tears due to it and many leave. Throughout my time at Dermoi, both CEO Elena Reva and CSO Eve Casha would comment openly about employees behind their back and made it evident all team members were not is a safe working environment and just numbers in a small business. There was many times the CEO would comment on staff members suggesting they should be 'dating' and continue to push that narrative, while also commenting on staffs eating habits and made racial slurs, homophobic and insensitive comments.
