RealSelf Reviews

Pros

Generous PTO, great benefits, and plenty of commission and bonus opportunities for top performers. The best part of this company is the support that management continually offers.

Cons

Fast-paced work environment, so may not be a good fit if you aren't very adaptable to change.

Pros

Important company mission- keeping consumers informed, educated and giving them the tools to find the right doctors and cosmetic brands is really important. It’s good to know that our work keeps them safe. I feel like the company really cares about me. Yes, we have had some turnover at the top- but I think it’s for the better and will stabilize. I believe in our CEO. Yes, we unfortunately had another layoff, but the company and the leadership team have been keeping us updated and the communications have been transparent. Work life balance is top here. Great employee benefits. And remote first is critical to true WLB and making working from home work. I think this year is important to the company and I appreciate where we are going and steps leadership is taking

Cons

Remote work has its drawbacks. Harder to develop and cultivate true relationships… Sometimes leading to more Tension and churn than necessary. The slack culture here is strong. Even though it would be better if we got on a zoom to discuss. And the slack culture doesn’t help if the relationship isn’t there yet. But these are common cons. I still take RealSelf over other companies.

Pros

-100% paid medical and dental -Remote -Fair market rate starting salary -A lot of great people in “lower” roles who know what they’re doing

Cons

-Leadership is toxic -Management is not focused on career development or promotion for lower level employees -No clear vision -Future success feels uncertain

Pros

The work life balance is amazing, the autonomy is so nice coming from my previous roles which were much more micro management. The management and team are all so wonderful, even through a zoom environment there is tons of camaraderie!

Cons

It is still a start up which has its ups and downs so there are a lot of moving parts and changes but overall the team is transparent with what is coming down the pipeline and open to suggestions!

Pros

Made some amazing friends, worked in a phenomenal culture, and had autonomy to work on a wide variety of interesting and rewarding technical, product, marketing, and sales initiatives. Startup cultures can be "variable" and the reality can often be different than the marketing/what you read in the news, but RealSelf is one to trust and it only grows stronger with each hire.

Cons

Likes many of the aggregators out there, the company is in the middle of a hard pivot from a weak to a strong aggregator - this will take time. However, a lot of the hard work has been done, global expansion achieved, and I'm confident that the next few years will be fruitful.

Pros

The entire organization is so collaborative and supportive. It's very much a teamwork mentality. Tons of opportunity to be successful and resources available to help you. There is flexibility in working from home and not being micromanaged, but lots of coaching and training happens to set the team up for success.

Cons

The job is phone sales to doctors, which is very difficult. You have to be resilient and accept constructive criticism. It's also all remote, so you have to be completely self-motivated to be succes.

Pros

Unique platform in the aesthetics space

Cons

Highly political culture that allowed unqualified people into powerful roles
