Pros

Amazing people who are kind, hardworking, and inspiring. The LA office has a lean team which means you get exposure to a lot of new and exciting projects. Plus dogs are allowed in the office, which is a definite morale booster!

Cons

Upper management/executives don't listen to lower-tiered employees on ideas to improve the company, both internally and externally. Strategies change from month-to-month, which trickles down to frustration, confusion, and disorganization. There's no clear communication on how budget is allocated throughout the company, which makes it difficult for the media team to create compelling marketing content.

Pros

Great general work culture, take care of their employees, flexible, great mission

Cons

Management in ipsyCare is elitist, promotions seem to be already chosen though they encourage applicants. ipsyCare management takes special care to be most unknowledgeable about policies and procedures, and upper management is so "busy" they have no time to understand their management team needs serious restructuring and ego checks. Sensitivity training should be given to all in management, specifically ipsyCare, as many do not connect enough to their employees to understand how to deliver basic empathy to their staff. It is my belief that ipsy and the rest of the department heads should seriously take a deep look into ipsyCare's management - things could stand to be changed around drastically. New faces breed new and better ideas, in my opinion!

Pros

After working at several other By area startups, I decided to give ipsy a chance. I've been working here for 8 months and I can say it's been by far the best experience I've had. Unlike other companies where the strategy changes one minute to the next, ipsy has clear leadership that stands for the company values. Compensation is good. Overall I find it to be a good company atmosphere.

Cons

I wish they had a better food selection in the office. Also the bathrooms and facilities leave a lot to be desired!
