Working here has provided me with a unique blend of positive and challenging experiences. The company truly values its employees' well-being, offering an exceptional work-life balance that fosters a healthy professional environment. The unlimited paid time off policy is a standout feature, granting employees the flexibility to maintain a harmonious work-life integration.

However, the management's decision-making process often leaves much to be desired, contributing to an occasionally disconcerting work atmosphere. The tendency to hire friends can occasionally lead to a lack of diversity in perspectives, impacting the overall effectiveness of team dynamics.

Despite the challenges, the company offers a supportive community where collaboration and camaraderie thrive. While some individuals may be challenging to work with, the overall positive aspects of the job, such as flexible scheduling and ample time off, make the company a compelling workplace for those seeking a balanced professional life.






This company continues to try to scale upward, seemingly without a strategic plan in place.  With each change, the functioning declines. 

Leadership seems confused/clueless about the realities of the work environment - or they just don't care. If you are not part of leadership, you better fall in line and do it with a smile or they make your day-to-day life intolerable.  

Constant turnover causes delays and forces "the low person on the totem pole" to do double work, double hours, with ZERO  appreciation.   You don't even know someone is gone until you to try call or email them because these structural changes are rarely communicated.

Career growth/development is non-existent. And when you raise that concern, you are branded difficult or not a team player.  The only challenge you will get (and daily) is managing your managers or playing defense.

It is increasingly difficult and toxic to work here, I've been looking for an out for a while. The "perks" have diminished greatly over the last few years, so you can't even justify dealing with the ineptitude.


Revance was a great place to work. Unfortunately, bad business decisions “forced them” into a reduction in force that impacted dozens of full-time marketing and creative employees—some of which were on maternity leave or vacation out of the country at the time of their dismissal. Sure, a small severance package makes the initial wound less painful—but in this economy/job market, job security is just as (if not more) important than compensation. It would have been nice to feel like the company at least considered spending less money on happy hours/free lunches (not to mention that multi-floor HQ office renovation) BEFORE deciding to take away the livelihood of their hardworking and  loyal employees. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
I had a highly collaborative and engaging team I worked with.  My line manager gave me stretch assignments and my Clinical trial manager went over expectations for new projects at hand.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The balance between work and life was a challenge.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Collaborative, goal oriented, communicative as well as compassionate group.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Monday was a sync up meet via zoom where we spoke about our weekends as well as the work week and important and urgent initiatives.  The work week went by quick-weekly goals were set and met.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The end of the work day. H.r. is completely clueless and lacks professionalism. The management has no sense of direction and maintenance is non-existent.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The ancient equipment, lack of cross-training to build skill sets and the unprofessional supervisors.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment and culture are completely toxic. What's tolerated there would not go anywhere else.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Chaos, jumping line to line when the equipment breaks down due to lack of qualified management and maintenance.

I think this company is run by very interesting and smart people but I was surprised at how often they would change their minds. They would be doing one thing for months, focused on this one thing exclusively, then someone from upper management would decide the opposite thing needed be done starting yesterday so the entire team would have to drop everything and do that. Need to be ok with changes to adapt here. They are struggling to grow and it's unclear still if their hero product will save the day as they had always forecasted.

Arrive 9:00 & check email.
11:00 go to the first of four meetings today.
Intermittently write an email or text with your team. Except you probably don't have one.
End of day: try to get a few things done, so you don't have too much homework.

I learned to bail out on the crazy.

Management is basically the rejects from the dodgeball court, trying to lord it over everybody because they've got a bit of cash.

Culture: my boss drank himself blind on the regular. Had multiple bottles of tequila on his desk.

The hardest and most enjoyable part of the job was leaving.

Most employees are overworked and unhappy. Constant change in management, and high turnover of all employees. A 10 + hour workshift is expected. HR is useless, they don’t care about employees. The company is disorganized and under high pressure. Low job security, if they don’t like you for any reason you can easily lose your job! I’ve witnessed many people leave/get terminated.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great colleagues, interesting work, good food

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working with Botulinum toxin is stressful 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment is good, Gym is on campus 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
