Pros

The people. You do truly work among an extremely passionate group of individuals that want to innovate and build the coolest products out there. The work culture is awesome, everyone is into super rad hobbies and very active. Neil Fiske, the new CEO so far seems great and is someone that seems to truly care about everyone and is willing to listen.

Cons

Very little room for career growth. Management seems to think the reason why the company doesn't reach it's goals is because we don't have enough managers and meetings. Teams are stretched super thin and additional personnel aren't hired to help offload the work. Every excuse in the book is used as to why raises or bonuses don't happen meanwhile upper management wastes money away on travel, industry events, electric car chargers, etc. Favoritism is also a big issue among both product categories and certain individuals. If you're "bros" with the right people I'm sure it's great. As a male employee I'm not affected but I have seen situations where women aren't taken as seriously as men with the same titles.

Rough go if you’re a female

Pros

Amazing people, and some amazing teams. Great discount on gear.

Cons

Advancement if you’re a female is not there. Your voice will never be taken seriously. Instead they will just undermine you 100%

A fun place to work, but the business is no longer aligned with its mission.

Pros

Fun, many employees share common values

Cons

The business is seemingly no longer aligned with its mission and feels more interested in attempting to create shareholder value by expanding product lines and through mergers & acquisitions.
