Pros

I love working at a company and with people who value the customer journey and care about the experience of the customers and the employees. Collaboration, active listening, making data driven decisions and hard work are the core focus day to day. It is inspiring to work alongside so many people that truly care about what we are putting out into the world and the impact it has. I have enjoyed my time at Brilliant Earth and feel a great sense of belonging and respect among the different groups I work with.

Cons

The pace of Brilliant Earth is ambitious. It is definitely not for everyone!
