EssilorLuxottica reviews

High workload and fast paced. Sometimes expected to travel.

Prior to the merger, Essilor, had its quirks and things to work on but after the merger with Luxottica, the culture turned toxic and felt no longer tenable. The bureaucracy of working with Italy made everything worse. Employees are overworked and under appreciated. Merit increases are being sparingly applied, not based on merit but based on saving money. People are asked to mark down employees on their ratings so that the company can save money. An employee passed a way there and upper management barely said a word. This was a long term employee. This started off as a fantastic place to work for many years. I saw myself retiring there. However in my last year, I couldn’t imagine staying 2 more weeks let alone my entire career.
