Pros

- Interesting and unusual way of developing products - Chance to learn by being thrown off into the deep end - A lot of responsibilities; you'll be expected to wear multiple hats whether you like it or not

Cons

- The company brands itself as "Swedish" but it is run and owned by a family of Croatians and headquartered in China and Croatia. - The exec team are only looking out for best interest of profit, regardless of implications of unethical practices - don't be surprised if you are asked to do things that are wrong - Their success was not built on their groundbreaking technology - the brand got a big jump start from being closely linked to sister brands in other industries; the technology is identical - The culture is based on pitting others against each other; this stems down from the founder who loves conflict and aggressive competition and all of the directors and C level execs follow his bizarre directions for probably fear of loosing their own jobs or some other ridiculous reason - this causes mayhem and constant disorder on a daily basis - Backstabbing and manipulating others seems to be the way of the snakes in the company that have caused all the latest disruption; restructure is a result of conflict and talking behind people's backs; they recently went through two rounds of layoffs - Hence, don't expect any opportunity here if you've joined the US team - they've sent all the majority of local US jobs to the Croatian team which they openly state that it's because it's cheaper to hire over there. They've clearly asked all their new recruits to post fake reviews on Glass door -untrustworthy practices! - The company has a bad industry reputation and is known for unethical practices but they simply do not care

Pros

innovative products in the skincare industry

Cons

Unethical business practice. Don't believe all the reviews you read (glassdoor and products). Expect personal offensive comments (gender/race/physical features).

Pros

No advantages, don't get fooled by "SWEDISH "

Cons

Don't believe positive reviews here, if you find any, it must be submitted by HR. Nothing is Swedish in this company, everything is done by people from Bosnia. HQ- Zagreb offices which are a total mess, the GM of EMEA region has a criminal record, he can't even go back to his country/town (Herzegovina), so you could imagine how is he doing business. All of the top managers are sleeping together, it's like an orgies. If you want to get a raise or get promoted, you have to be a puppy of one of the guys (Of course no females among them). HR is a complete disaster, a raise could only happen once per year, they will do everything to let you forget about it so you'll have to wait 2 years for a shitty amount of money. Don't complain to HR about anything or trust them because they're apart of the system so they won't protect you. Their process of performance review is so stupid, managers won't give good reviews in order to do not increase your salary in the future. No benefits except free products if your supervisor is a nice person. You get used to inappropriate and sexist jokes from the managers during the meetings. You have an average of 10 employees fired per month, so if you're looking for a stable job, please run away. Let's talk about the job itself, this company has no long term vision, everyday you'll have new directions and everyday you'll have a new strategy because the top managers are bunch of losers who has no idea about how to do business.
