i experienced many marketing departments

i have no cons about this internship

Discounts, Benefits, Good Work Life Balance (good work abroad policy etc) Things can vary significantly depending on which team you're in. Some teams are great to work with, but unfortunately, these positive experiences are rare and limited to only a few teams.

I had a difficult experience working at Chalhoub Group due to several cultural and structural issues. There seemed to be a lack of accountability, and I often felt that there was a tendency to deflect responsibility or shift blame, which created an atmosphere where I sometimes found myself defending my actions and decisions more than necessary. This dynamic, which felt like gaslighting at times, made it challenging to work effectively and foster trust within teams. Frequent restructurings contributed to ongoing uncertainty, and my role evolved in ways that didn’t align with the initial agreement. Additionally, bureaucracy slowed down decision-making, making it difficult to implement changes. While the company promotes a strong external image, I found the internal culture didn’t always reflect the values they claim to uphold. Leadership turnover was frequent, and employee well-being didn’t feel like a priority
