Pros
I’ve worked with incredible people at Benefit, which is ultimately what kept me from leaving for a while.
Cons
Leadership is ruthless. You’re always walking on thin ice and always on edge that when you make a mistake, you’ll be let go. Not many growth opportunities. My experience was that I was overworked and gaslighted into thinking I wasn’t doing enough when in fact, I went above and beyond.
