Lush reviews

The lack of communication between corporate and the retail team was infuriating. Whenever I did get the chance to communicate with someone in HR/communications, the team members were condescending and it seemed like they had no idea what it was like to actually be working in shop. I worked so hard until I felt like I had no support left from my higher ups who weren't in shop. Additionally, once you get to the store manager level its hard to see any clear path of growth to stay with the company. It truly felt like a dead end.

Lots of middle management and disconnect between the people doing the work and stakeholders. I've seen the wrong thing built many times Teams are extremely siloed Priorities shift a lot and you end up with lots of half baked features that never make it out Lots of technical debt. There is very much a fix later mentality No automated testing culture Lots of micromanagement and lack of trust If you are a senior developer you are expected to be available out of hours during big releases Features are based on what stakeholders want and not what the customer wants Lots of hard deadlines before work is estimated Middle management say yes to every stakeholder request and then put the pressure on the people below them Middle management lie to stakeholders about progress Critical systems hanging together by a thread Security concerns are not taken seriously It's only a flat structure when it suits the business
