Pros

It provides a source of income.

Cons

Hain Celestial has become a toxic workplace. Unfortunately, the company's performance has suffered due to a significant influx of newcomers, primarily at the leadership level, displacing diligent and responsible former employees who knew how to get the job done. Many of the CEO's claims are starkly different from reality. Despite her assertions of building a high-performing organization, the company's performance lags far behind its peers. Sales and profits are consistently declining. While she speaks of fostering a diverse workforce, the C-suite remains predominantly white (white men and women are welcome to apply!). The narrative that leadership is trying to sell does not align with reality. The company culture has deteriorated since the arrival of newcomers from highly political companies where backstabbing and credit-taking are common practices, leading to low morale and a lack of motivation. Furthermore, it appears that leadership is more focused on promoting itself on social media with flashy pictures, questionable news (such as the delayed opening of the new HQ), and awards from obscure organizations. Hain feels like a shaky structure ready to collapse at any moment. Basic amenities taken for granted by many other companies are lacking at Hain. For instance, there is no unified global email system, and arranging meetings with employees from other regions is time-consuming due to the inability to view their calendar availability.

Pros

Leadership is so incompetent you can get away with doing no work. Zero accountability. If your goal is to collect a paycheck without producing any results this is the company for you.

Cons

Senior leadership team. They’re only focused on protecting their own jobs. Worked with senior teams for 20 years and celestial are the most incompetent I’ve ever worked with.
