Pros

Generous vacation time Free skincare product

Cons

I would not recommend working for this company. The company does not value the experience of its employees or respect them. As a result, they hire people in upper management who have no experience and have no idea how to manage. Upper management ends up using their team as scapegoats for their own mistakes. They do not want employees to be proactive and ask people to stop bringing beneficial ideas to the table. There is also no direction given until the last minute when the goals given are almost impossible to reach. They have a large amount of turnover mostly because management cannot manage and they end up firing people because of the unattainable and non communicated monthly goals. This is a young startup where they expect you to work overtime but won’t value you. There is also very limited room for growth unless you start at the very bottom.

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.
