There are many. - The CEO is largely absent aside from quarterly all-staff presentations. The senior leadership team responsible for planning, driving results, and creating a company culture is inept at best. This is the result of many promotions based on tenure with the company rather than expertise in a role or desire to do the role. Most of the senior leadership team has very little experience in outside organizations or in their role. The culture on paper and the reality experienced by people who work here is very different. - Hires are often made on a person's athletic background and authenticity to the endurance sport industry and not on their expertise or background in the role they will be filling. - If you love being micro-managed, this is a great place to work. The culture of trust has eroded since new senior management president has been brought in and has been replaced with a culture of fear and management by surprise. If you want to be treated as an expert in your career look somewhere else. - There is a severe lack of diversity at the leadership level. Senior leadership roles are all filled by male, former athletes, who all come from extremely similar socio-economic backgrounds. They will tell you they are actively working on DEI, but no tangible steps have been taken in 3 years. This is a good old boys club. - Leadership team members have a severe lack of emotional intelligence, and huge egos. The leadership philosophy if you can call it that feels taken out of a book from the 1950s on how to manage factory workers. You'll be told you have the trust to do your job, but you will not experience that. Instead, you'll get constant micromanagement through a chain of command gas lighting you every step of the way. - They will ask for your feedback and participation in employee satisfaction surveys, but nothing of substance is ever truly addressed. This is especially true with matters of compensation and leadership style. - The direction and focus of the company changes constantly and is driven by the whim and gut feeling of the leadership team and social media influencers, not requests of the customer. - Turnover is insane at the employee level and almost nonexistent at the leadership level. You'd think the amount of great people leaving would be a hint. - Very little opportunity for career advancement.

- Toxic work environment in the engineering department. There is a lot of talk about "agile" and "collaboration", typical buzzwords but in practice not so much. Everything that you do or work on trickles down from the Chief Engineer. If you question anything or put out your own ideas, you just get moved off to the side and dismissed. This person is also very good at belittling and making you very uncomfortable with their behavior. - I also very clearly remember during a stand being berated and insulted by the person above, all this was done in front of my peers. Very humiliating experience. - Although they say a lot about work-life balance, I didn't find it to be true. More often than not people were working late into the evening and on the weekends. I would routinely receive work related emails late at night (past 10pm) and/or early in the morning. It seemed like there was an unwritten expectation to work even in your supposed "free" time. - They pay subpar for the area and compared to other tech companies. Talking with peers of mine in the area, I made anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000 dollars less than people in comparable roles and years of experience. - The company has "restructured" several times over the past year, it makes one wonder what is going on at the top.
