Pros

nice (empty) offices, good food @ Refuel

Cons

C-suite not capable of leading. First company I’ve worked for where the majority of c-levels lack completely business acumen, no international experience, vision. Politics No strategy overall but specifically little product strategy for a product based organization Entire organisation operates in silos Poor People/HR centric approach, very junior employees in director, VP roles who are not able to implement processes such as Performance management, internal career progression, salary reviews, pay structure, global mobility etc. They let favouritism and nepotism happen across departments, have led an unfair restructure process, allowing Ben's boy club to make skilled and committed employees redundant while inexperienced 'friends' in key roles were protected.

Hey, thanks for your feedback. We know being so open and honest can be difficult, so we really appreciate it. We are really focused right now on establishing consistency throughout the business, and we feel our new Performance Culture Roadshow will help to demonstrate this. We are always willing to listen and work on ways in which we can improve, so we'd love it if you could reach out to your people partner to discuss your ideas further.

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.
