Pros

Some great employees there who honestly care about the company. If you are into surfing or rock climbing, you will fit in well. Quite a few company events.

Cons

Quite a few unsatisfied employees working there. Lots of hardworking people who will unfortunately go nowhere if they stay. Too many directors. Fear of making decisions without "approval" because of director backlash. I respect a director who has enough courage to sit down face to face when there is an issue, not one who hides behind her monitor and sends passive aggressive emails, or even worse asks an employee in the department to confront another employee about something she saw.

Pros

When I joined prAna, it was a thriving, mission-driven company with an incredible culture and sense of purpose. I felt proud to be part of it. Over time, however, the company lost its way, struggling to define its identity and adapt to an increasingly competitive market. Former PROS: (no longer valid) -Passionate, talented teams who genuinely care about sustainability and design -Strong brand legacy and beautiful product foundation -Supportive peers and creative, collaborative work environment (at least historically) -Generous employee discount and connection to an active lifestyle community

Cons

-Frequent executive turnover and shifting strategies led to confusion and instability -Reliance on outside brand consultants without consistent follow-through -Significant loss of institutional knowledge due to repeated layoffs of long-term employees -Limited opportunities for career growth or advancement -Struggling to maintain clear direction and brand identity in a challenging market
