B Lab reviews

Some hypocrisy, borderline greenwashing of certain companies / initiatives.

-Salaries are embarrassing. -Highly experienced and talented employees kept at the same level although they are the ones training the higher levels. -Attrition rate is so high it’s hard to keep track of colleagues coming and going. -Years of reckless financial management put the org in a terrible situation. A new leadership team is taking too long to figure out and clearly communicate priorities. -Said new leadership is extremely US and EU-centric (so is the org historically) and has little racial diversity. -Significant layoffs (2023) conducted with lack of transparency, respect or compassion. These layoffs disproportionately affected people of color. -No prospects for promotions or relevant salary increases. In 2022 and 2023 the maximum increase was 2.5%. -Zero room for salary negotiation. Both at hiring or at the ocasional promotion. -Increasing number of controversy about certified B Corps is harming the certification’s rep.
