Pros

Great product and good compensation

Cons

Here are the cons in no particular order. I would not recommend joining this company. It's a super start-up with no direction. -Lack of integrity -No real benefits -You will have to sign up for your own health insurance and they will reimburse you. That's about all you'll get. -No parking and they won't pay for it -They are super successful in Europe, but they have no idea what they're doing in the US, and won't listen to others that have more experience in the space. -They are cutting corners instead of investing where it counts -No storytelling or brand story -No proper training or processes are in place and they refuse to slow down and implement this.

Hello, thanks for your feedback! We would like to address what we can: - Health insurance is of course a matter of course (as well as a few other perks such as home-office or flexible and/or trustbased working hours) - We offer individual coachings for personal and professional career development of our employees and encourage all employees to attend professional conferences and/or community-events to relevant discourses - We offer parking space in both the headquarter in Berlin, Germany as well as our office in Los Angeles (US) - HelloBody has a very clear brandstory and a widely ranged product portfolio with close to 50 items (tendency increasing) in the field of highly effective skincare Last but not least: We have a low employee turnover and a very strong company culture that fosters employee motivation at a maximum level. People enjoy working with HelloBody and as a company we are very proud of this. We appreciate your feedback and hope we were able to address a few of your issues.

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.

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.
