Pros

Great offices. Opportunity to travel. Fun colleagues. Creative environment.

Cons

Interface is a bullying haven! People from around the world were being bullied while I was there. Even 1-2 years after I left, people were still being bullied. Ironically HR had implemented an anti-bullying course that every colleague had to take. It was obvious why! Even senior management were the bullies. Interface have people that have been there for over 20-30 years. While that shows a sign of loyalty for some, those people are holding the business back from progress. It's not a progressive environment at all. Senior management who have been there for over 30 years do not hold the qualifications to be in the roles they hold. It's a boys club at the top, so they look after each other. And forget about being supported! My manager had no clue of the value I could add, because he isn't qualified to be in the position he holds. Yet, other senior managers from other regions around the world could see the value I added and financed my projects. They pride themselves on doing good. But surprisingly, when you look behind the scenes, it's a dark and devious workplace.

Pros

A healthy work environment with a lot of opportunities to grow professionally. The pay, bonuses, and time off are all competitive, and upper management does a good job listening to employee concerns and feedback across different levels of the company. No workplace is perfect, but overall Interface has been a genuinely positive place to work, and I’m thankful to be part of this organization.

Cons

I don’t have any significant drawbacks, but it would be refreshing to see the Lagrange offices and work spaces updated to better reflect the creativity, and design expertise that we are known for.

Pros

Interface attracts genuinely talented, passionate people, my colleagues were some of the most skilled and inspiring professionals I've worked alongside. The company's sustainability legacy and mission, rooted in Ray Anderson's vision, is real and meaningful. The benefits and compensation are good, and the work itself can be rewarding and creatively fulfilling.

Cons

The culture is politically charged and performative. Optics matter more than genuine contribution, which takes a real toll on professional confidence. There are unwritten rules about how to behave and who you can speak to, and breaking them carries consequences. New hires are expected to be fully up and running within 1-3 months, which sets people up to fail in an already punishing environment. Work-life balance is poor, with a do-or-die intensity that feels disproportionate for a marketing setting. Career growth is largely an illusion. Roles lack defined upward paths, and the professional development offerings, including outside experts brought in for employee growth, did not deliver meaningful value.
