Pros

Fast-paced, interesting work in a highly competitive industry. SharkNinja is a pacesetter and has been wildly successful over the last several years. A lot of opportunity to make an impact - you just need to be willing to take the initiative. There won't always be someone to tell you that something needs to be done, but taking the initiative will pay off big here. Free products all the time - know someone in the right departments and you can pretty much get whatever you want for free. Amazing holiday sale. Employee discounts are pretty good. Breakfast on Fridays and food truck Fridays during the summer (100% free). The company is growing, so the events continue to get bigger and better. 24/7 global operations with offices in US, UK, Canada, China and growing! So much exposure to products in all stages of development via testing - you get asked to test stuff all the time.. This definitely helps make the days more interesting when you can take a 15-30 minute break to test a new product or new feature.

Cons

Not for everyone - sometimes you will be expected to take calls or emails after work. We're still fairly small compared to our competitors, so that means that more work is expected per individual. You can look at it like there is too much work to be done or as an opportunity to make an impact (your choice). Managed appropriately, work/life balance isn't too bad. Culture is lacking and a little undefined.. events and perks continue to improve, but I would like to see more of an inclusive company culture that is defined by the employees and not just HR.

Pros

Some good peers that make the days slightly bearable with the group chat of how ridiculous and hellish the place is

Cons

The speed and agility are just code names for ceo paranoia and inability to make and stick to decisions. Toxic environment perpetuated by the lifers. Entire departments are pit against each other. A culture of public shaming and blaming with a side of discrimination and misogyny. It is absolute chaos and makes you regress professionally because after a while all you do is “yes” the ceo and do things the Shark way which is essentially the Mark way and 0% what other orgs would do or what you learned about/experienced previously. Micromanaging starts from the very top. Product issues daily. People cry daily. Ridiculously high turnover. So much bullying and favoritism. Extremely top heavy and lots of VPs+ to attend meetings but not enough people to actually work. Those in leadership are also unprofessional and liabilities. No work life balance. No respect. Backstabby. Even the meeting are aggressive and called hacks, red teams, sledge hammer approach etc. The best way to be successful here is to be a super caffeinated visible sycophant that is fine with no life outside of work. People note the high comp but it’s not worth it and is not enough compared to the hours actually worked and all the stress and anxiety that comes with it. The moral and mental health here are the lowest I’ve ever seen.
