Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback and I'm sorry to hear that your time at Specialized was less than stellar. We are dedicated to making Specialized a great place to work for all and are constantly improving the ways that we are training our managers. It sounds like we could be doing better with more of the "human" aspects, and I'll definitely bring this feedback to our People & Culture team. We believe in treating all teammates with fairness and compassion and we will continue working towards that.

Pros

They make amazing bikes. Team members are fun to be around and work with.

Cons

They have evolved to think that their products will sell themselves. Funding for everything else has been cut and expecting employees to pick up the gaps. Employee discounts not great compared to what they used to be. Return to office 4 days a week in an area where the pay does not even afford you an apartment.
