Performative Culture Behind a Polished Brand
Pros
Discounted makeup products. Good benefits.
Cons
The company promotes itself as highly diverse, but the actual culture felt much more insular and image-conscious than genuinely merit-based. Over time, there seemed to be a noticeable pattern of people gravitating toward and favoring those who looked, acted, or culturally mirrored themselves, especially in hiring and advancement decisions. What stood out most was the disconnect between the company’s external messaging and the reality of the environment internally. Diversity often felt more like part of the brand image than something deeply reflected in the day-to-day culture or decision-making. From my experience, the environment felt far more clique-driven and performative than truly open or inclusive.
