What is the best part of working at the company?
They had flexible hours with their hybrid model. The company would give away free product occasionally. Also offered gift cards randomly. Very nice. Great IT group.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management (there key people in the wrong positions). Example (impromptu Lean - 105 PowerPoint slide presentation covered within 50 minutes). Sad part no one was aware that they were being trained. The director was upset stating he trained everyone 2 weeks later.

It's like they want to fail. Lack of innovation, support, refuse to adapt, internally creates problem that will deter growth and dissolve their business strategy going forward. Management refuse to listen to ideas, suggestions or improvements. They want you to execute their ideals and accept zero accountability for failure.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's very clique oriented. Alot of silos, and really it's a culture at Galderma. It's like they are discovering themselves as they proceed. Basically the blind leading the blind. Checkout

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Each day is different. You really can't get into a rhythm or say this is the constant that I can come to expect.

If you are hired into the Rosacea or Acne roles you are golden... however I had quite a different experience.

Was hired into the Rosacea unit to launch Mirvaso and four months later was selected to start up Galderma's new aesthetic division called Concierge Medical Solutions.  We relaunched TriLuma Cream and Pliaglis and sold B2B packages of both for resale and in-office use.  Six months later our role changed to selling a pharmacy Galderma partnered with and encouraging brand use over generic.  This past January, our role changed again to Strategic Accounts where we were responsible for selling access solutions in larger offices only.  I lost credibility with my accounts due to all this change, was not given enough time in each role to fully understand the market and become effective and no additional training or tools were given with each new role.  

I understand change is good and inevitable and I usually welcome it with open arms.  I believe Galderma is a GOOD company, just not my individual career trajectory.  I should have been laid off with their last re-org in December, but instead they pushed me out after the new year and are not re-hiring for my territory.  Wish I could have made it work, but this was a bad fit all the way around.  I wish the best of luck to my colleagues!

I used to love my job. They were so good to us. Never an easy job but the consistent commission payouts and attainable quotas made up for it. The 2 years prior to IPO EVERYTHING Started to change. 10 fold increase in non-sales revenue generating admin requirements, quotas started to become unattainable, and sudden/new performance letters were given if you didn’t achieve 85% in each product category. Seriously, you think we don’t want to make money and are here because we have nothing better to do? There is no way you can live off base pay alone so it’s not like 90% of the salesforce was just riding along for that.  Shifted from truly valuing your employees when AL was there to using your employees to still produce while not paying them by threatening them with their jobs every quarter. Hadn’t missed  a quota in 6 years and suddenly I’m missing 4 consecutively. Quotas aren't released until 1/3 of the quarter has already elapsed and they refuse to divulge how they're calculated. They demand consistency and accountability form their sales force but refuse to provide any in return, meanwhile increasing your workload and not paying you while the company seems to be reporting record growth every quarter. Turnover in the last year has been ridiculous with tenured  top performers regularly leaving by the droves. 

Galderma has undergone significant changes in leadership recently, and with those changes has come a noticeable shift in company culture. Many experienced team members have left or been let go, and while some of this has been attributed to restructuring, it has created a climate of instability and uncertainty for remaining employees.

Employee morale has declined due to the lack of communication and transparency surrounding organizational decisions. Some departments appear to be led by individuals who may not fully understand their teams’ operational functions, which has led to confusion and frustration. The previous culture that valued recognition, collaboration, and employee contributions seems to be fading.

There are growing concerns about retention, as well as the direction and consistency of leadership across different regions. It is unclear whether upper-level executives are aware of how these changes are affecting day-to-day operations and employee engagement in the U.S. and beyond.

I hope Galderma’s executive leadership team takes steps to reestablish trust and invest in building a healthy, respectful workplace culture again.


Been with Galderma for a long time.  It used to be a great place to work but not anymore.  Global leadership is ruining this company and the culture.  
The people I work with are great.  The US consumer marketing and sales teams are filled with smart and hard working people.  They are the reason most of us stay but I’m afraid that won’t be the case for much longer.  
I work in the consumer division but Galderma is a healthcare/medical company.  The global leadership team has no idea how to run a CPG company and they are killing our division.  Unreasonable expectations, constant leadership changes, slashing budgets and product guidance heavily influenced by the European markets are all contributing to the downfall of this organization.  We have strong brands with a strong heritage but we cannot compete because the global leadership does not understand the US CPG landscape.  They expect us to deliver the same results of our biggest competitor but Galderma does NOT invest in our brands.   I could write a novel about the issues.  

The best thing that Galderma could do is to divest the consumer division.  Let us go to a company that understands how to manage CPG brands and is willing to invest to grow the business.  

While I had a successful career and Galderma with frequent promotions, it came at a severe cost to my overall mental health.  Constant turnover in both people and strategy has left the organization constantly pivoting.  Each day priorities and tasks would change drastically leaving me unable to successfully plan and execute.  Morale is low and it is hard to find anyone that has been there for more than 1-2 years.  

There are good people that work there that try their absolute best.    Leadership team; however, has turned over 5-6 times in the last 8 years.  I feel like all the relationship building I invested in is worthless as the turnover is so high.

Finally, it took about a year after I left to stop having nightmares about toxic engagements with certain people in leadership roles.  Many leaders were poor hires and would come in and leave a pile of bodies in their wake only to leave in a year.

The only bright side is I was well compensated and benefits were generally good.  That being said I don't think it was worth the pay.

Working for this company has been an incredibly rewarding experience. From day one, I felt welcomed and supported by a team that values collaboration, growth, and open communication. The leadership is approachable and genuinely cares about employee development, offering continuous learning opportunities and constructive feedback that helps you thrive. What sets this company apart is its strong culture—one that encourages innovation, recognizes hard work, and celebrates both individual and team achievements. Work-life balance is truly respected, and the flexibility provided allows you to perform at your best without sacrificing personal priorities. There’s a genuine sense of purpose in the work we do, and it’s motivating to know you’re contributing to something meaningful. I’ve developed both professionally and personally here and feel empowered to take initiative and grow within the organization. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a supportive, dynamic, and fulfilling work environment.

My experience with Galderma has left me disappointed. After going through 5 rounds of interviews over the course of nearly two months, I was finally offered a role—only to be told less than a week later that I would need to travel to their headquarters, which was never mentioned during the interview process.

Shortly after the offer, a personal family emergency arose, and I requested a brief delay in my start date—just a few days. Unfortunately, they couldn’t accommodate the request. While I understand that some roles may be time-sensitive, the lack of flexibility after such a long and involved hiring process was concerning.

In my opinion, this level of rigidity can be a sign of larger structural or cultural issues within an organization. While I can’t speak to the company as a whole, this experience made me question whether it would have been a supportive environment. I believe I dodged a toxic environment. 


Galdema is a good company and they treat their employees well. My colleagues were nice and easy to work with. The two managers I worked for have God Complexes and it's their way or the highway. All employees have to submit an Objectives Plan each year that are almost impossible to meet due to the demands of the job. Everyone expects you to reply to their Phone Calls and Emails 24X7/365. I worked in the IT Department with a total of 22 employees for 3+ years and none of the employees moved into advanced roles in the department or company. Not that they did not want to advance in their career, they were never considered by Management. Temporary or Contract Employees are not hired for full time employment and are treated as if they are second class human beings.

Nice people and great company that needs a culture overhaul. Overworked and underpaid is the statement that best describes the culture. Most managers don't respect your time or effort. Hardwork goes unnoticed because most people are to busy doing their own stuff. There's no recognition or reward for your successes. Deadlines can't be met because they are unrealistic, the budgets are low and there are far too many people who have to weigh in on any particular decision, to get anything done. Never-ending cycle of "reviews".

Nevertheless, the people are wonderful and the products are great! Enjoyed the bulk of my time there, but I wasn't willing to give up time with my family, especially my kids.
