TerraCycle Reviews

Creatively very unfulfilling - all creative decisions made in the US, creative roles in Europe are focussed on artworking and translation. There are a huge number of sub-brands and customers don't really know what Terracycle does. Greenwashing - the focus is less on improving the world than scoring brand partnerships and demonstrating to those brands that we are shouting about their good work on social media. Management - micromanaged, no trust from managers to get the job done every project required hours of meetings which left very little working time. Office location - nothing around Perivale and manager insisted we were in regularly. Job description - day to day job was very different to the advertised job description, became clear quickly I had made a mistake. CEO - the CEO is seen as many colleagues as a demi-god who can't be questioned. There is a huge amount of doings things just to please him or cover yourself. I heard of creatives being let go for disagreeing with the CEO.

While the sector of recycling hard to recycle waste that I focus on is really interesting, the company has displayed little compassion or willingness to invest in people in 2022 and 2023 - no bonus, little career growth, but more pressure on everyone. Management is very top down and is not collaborative. Ideas from senior management are not sufficiently opened up to debate.
