Pros
Office is nice. Pay is on par with industry, but not if you factor in the extra hours expected to be worked consistently.
Cons
• Red Flags from the first two weeks. Orientation including statements like at Shark Ninja you have to "grow thick skin”, “maniacally” attack problems head on, and keep going even if it’s not perfect, then get berated for inaccuracies. If you read through their success drivers, it’s very clear that they will work you to the bone as a minimum expectation. If you are paying attention in orientation you will understand just how manipulative their presentations are. • The CEO mentioned in a townhall that what keeps him up at night is staff, meaning having enough good people to run the business, but his success drivers have created a disgusting culture of disrespect and constant unattainable expectations. They are deeply passionate about their entrepreneurial spirit and “hustle” yet never celebrate wins. • Middle management are constantly trying to appease the ever-changing moods of the c-suite executives, and do not advocate for their employees. When you refuse to start work at 5:30 in the morning you are met with the perception that you can’t handle the “fast-paced” environment. Fast-Paced environment really means inappropriate work hours or load. Advocating for yourself is not respected. • No one trusts anyone at this company, because its full of people who want to get ahead no matter the circumstances. • There is no relationship building because no one has the time or desire to communicate with each other in a clear and decent manner. Yet when you discuss these concerns about working to improve communication, you are met with a “don’t take it personal” instead of a constructive discussion or plan to solve the issues. • As a new employee there is zero training. If you get lucky someone will help you. Otherwise its figure out our “lingo” or get out, because no one wants to waste their time on newcomers. You will never be set up for success. • This place is terrible, I could tell from the very beginning. There are numerous reported incidences of people having mental break downs, and law suits due to the working conditions, unmeetable expectations, and retaliation. The worst part about this is that there is no efforts to improve any of these known issues deeply culturally ingrained issues. They are very aware of the problems and continue to fuel a deeply unhealthy environment of sink or sink at the direction of the trolls in the C suite.
