NA leadership will never acknowledge culture problem - Anonymous employee Sephora Employee Review

The deterioration of the culture in the North America business unit has been one of the saddest things to witness. The general reviews about a culture of favoritism, exclusion, and popularity contests used to be siloed to just a few teams, however in the past two years, since the loss of Jean Andrew, it has spread throughout the organization. The leadership team sees engagements surveys results and is quick to point the blame at bad project management tools or slow roadmap projects. They never look internally to understand why their teams truly do not feel valued. They pick and choose their favorites and silence people who speak out about things that aren't working by excluding them, removing their work or spreading malicious rumors. If you are lucky enough to be on a leaders good side you will bask in the glow of opportunities, growth and recognition. Get on the wrong side of the wrong leader, and your career will stall. If you are willing to play the game, you can go really far, learn a ton and have a tremendously successful career. If you are exhausted by politics, internal drama and not having your ideas listened to, this isn't the place for you.
