Burton Snowboards

Is this your company?

Great place to start when you are young in your career. Burton has a "work hard, play hard" mentality. - Product Manager Burton Snowboards Employee Review

Pros

Burton is in a beautiful area (Burlington), the benefits and coworkers are great. Work environment is relaxed. Overall they invest well in the women of the company through women's leadership programs and mentoring (thanks to Jake and Donna). Working within product you get to travel a decent amount, interacting with great sales teams abroad. Its a great way to see the world.

Cons

Limited or slow growth opportunities, within an overall unstable industry (snow). It is the snowboard industry, but overall Burton lacks a higher level of professionalism as you age in your career. They tend to promote from within, which is great for taking in younger workers, but doesn't provide the higher level of skills needed to do the job.

Pros

The perks are real: paid snowboard days, discounted gear, and some genuinely incredible colleagues.

Cons

Getting promoted here is nearly impossible. You'll be underpaid and underappreciated, but subtly convinced this is acceptable because you're part of something "cool." Management is chaotic and the company values are laughably hypocritical. The handful of promotions that do happen internally are largely driven by nepotism and favoritism from senior leadership. Their diversity and inclusion efforts appear to be more of a marketing initiative than a genuine commitment; the workforce is overwhelmingly homogeneous, and many employees are only able to afford to work here with financial support— think family money (White, Vermont, UVM/Champlain graduates). If you're looking to grow — personally, professionally, or creatively — do it somewhere that actually makes that possible. The environment is deeply political, job security feels constantly uncertain despite being overworked, and there is little to no long-term roadmap or direction from leadership. The people are great. The company is not. Go somewhere that deserves you.
