CAMILLA Reviews

Cult like company with awful upper management. It is just a popularity contest for who is actually recognised and financially rewarded, HR is there to protect the company not help employees, terrible pay. Have witnessed upper management under the influence of alcohol and drugs while working. “Coke” is a regular substance used in the office. HR was notified and they just ignored it. The company has a wfh policy for head office staff- however upper management chooses their “favourites” who are actually allowed to wfh and makes others come in 5 days a week. They falsely advertise their jobs, push so much extra work on you that is not covered in your contract and expect you to work over time even though they hide behind a “healthy work life balance.” This company will emotionally destroy you.

- The interview process feels more like an interrogation, with the company pressuring candidates to guarantee a one-year stay to be considered for the role. - Management remains trapped in an echo chamber of self-praise, recycling old ideas and stifling new perspectives. - Salaries are seen as fixed and non-negotiable, with no bonuses and insulting 3% annual pay rises. Management repeatedly cites budget constraints, despite significant expenditure on the creation of new unnecessary senior roles, sample spend and team bonding holidays for a select few favourites. Not to mention, the US president likely earns over $500K AUD (based on the salary guidelines publicly advertised on the job ad), and lavish spending on influencer parties and luxury store fit-outs continues. -The design and merchandising teams are plagued by a toxic, outdated culture. Senior staff resist change, engage in workplace politics (e.g. favouritism) and prioritise brown-nosing their superiors over innovation. -Junior employees receive little to no training and are paid below market rates. Career progression is blocked, and promotions are rare, with internal candidates overlooked in favour of external hires. -Attempts to broaden skill sets or express interest in other teams are met with hostility, leaving employees frustrated and stuck in stagnant roles. -Staff are terrified to WFH lest they feel the wrath of the anti-WFH department head, despite claims of a flexible work culture - an issue that interestingly doesn't apply to certain untouchable senior employees. -Some employees are bullied into not using their paid leave, while others are granted 3 month sabbaticals to travel the world.
