Pros

Since Brooks is all about running, you are able to run in the middle of the day and come back to the office in your workout clothes and no one cares! They are very lax about what you wear and the culture is amazing.

Cons

You really do have to like running. Everything you are making, brainstorming and creating is about running and running lifestyle so it is best if you know what they are talking about. The company is getting bigger so it is starting to feel a little too big (you dont know who anyone is). Since Brooks has such an amazing culture they don't have to pay very well. Just know you aren't going to be a millionaire if you work here.

Pros

A pretty darn fantastic company to work for. Lots of potential to make an impact on a young and rapidly growing company. Management recognizes accomplishments and what you bring to the table as well as seeking input and allowing one to take on responsibilities. Overall feel proud and fortunate to work for Brooks. -Dress Code -Discounted and free shoes and apparel -Easy going atmosphere -Able to make a mark and contribute and be recognized! -Management has shown a great deal of respect for others views and requests input -Projected move to Fremont will make the working conditions and environment really amazing -A Run Happy ethos permeates everything

Cons

Overall no complaints, other than the commute to Bothell. The office can be a bit cliquey, but overall a pretty great place to work. If you are not a runner you can feel left out.
