Pros

Great brand and place to work. Good work content and nice people around barring a couple of them. I’m proud to say I worked for a brand I worshipped all my life.

Cons

The company has been going through multiple changes because of certain actions from the parent. Hope everything settles down soon without affecting the legendary status to the brand.

Doing Luxottica's Dirty Work

Pros

Most of the people I worked with at Oakley were amazing - down to earth, fun and easy to get along with. I loved the casual culture, tone and environment. The employee discount was pretty great and the product innovation was cutting edge. Everyone works really hard and was really passionate....until Luxottica took over, literally.

Cons

With the recent 2015 integration efforts, Luxottica does not care about Oakley's people or culture. The way that Luxottica's Italian executives came in one by one, pushed Oakley's current executives swiftly out the door and dismantled teams, with little to no communication, was so unprofessional and was pretty obvious that they are only out for themselves. By the end of my time there, everyone was walking around with their hands down, just waiting for the other shoe to drop. It was super depressing and Luxottica expected us all to work even harder to help them accomplish their goal of an official take over. I don't think there are any of the same leaders there than when I started; the current employees have no allies to turn to and the morale is very bad. My heart breaks for my colleagues that are still there.
