Pros

Flexi schedule- 10-4pm, free lunch every monday, free clothing, cool people, cool office.

Cons

horrible training on digesting company sales data- which is an intergral part of the job. the management gatekeeps info, lack of communication from above, everyone works by themselves, even if you are designing the same brand. output expectations are unreasonable- you will be working till 3-4am on an unrealistic deadline, and there is a ton of wasted work.

Pros

The company was growing pretty fast and had a startup like pace, until the tariffs happened. SHEIN’s pace slowed down a lot and the company pivoted to cost optimization

Cons

1) company’s leadership, especially the US leadership lacks vision and creates a toxic work culture by constantly belittling people in open and yelling at them. 2) the small group of top leaders almost behave like high school bullies colluding with each other 3) you’ll struggle to survive, let alone succeed, if you don’t speak Chinese. 4) Sheins compensation is significantly below industry peers 5) Daily late night calls with the China team mean a non existent work life balance. You are expected to be available at all times, including late night and weekends
