Pros

- Decent perks if local - free lunch, free gym, cool offices - Colleagues at similar level are great

Cons

- USED to be an incredible place to work with opportunities, travel and a culture of development, but this changed in 2021 with the shift of CEO - Now there are serious issues behind the scenes. A real “boy’s club” - those saved from redundancy shows this - Incompetent and inexperienced management allowed to make decisions without accountability - serious errors go without any acknowledgement - Directors with no emotional intelligence to understand how to get the best out of people. Some are known across the business as not being up to their roles, yet they’re still preaching to press articles about “authenticity” - Decisions made based upon ego and worries over “internal PR” rather than what’s best - The organisation is now top heavy as loads of lower staff have been cleared out and there’s just Directors/Heads Of left so an awful workload for whoever joins - Overall a toxic environment that needs *leadership* change

Pros

Gymshark really sticks to its core values. The people are awesome and great to work with. Excellent work-life balance.

Cons

As a UK-based company, working in the United States is tough sometimes. We often get information late from our UK partners. The company definitely needs to build out its US office more and add more vital job functions.
