Pros

- nice and friendly colleagues - shop credit and discounts - regular vouchers given for shop products - a lot of opportunities to do sports

Cons

- no trust from management to employees, leading to toxic work environment - irresponsible handling of COVID situation. People were asked to come to the office in the midst of the pandemic, and more the once the office was overcrowded. Even on cases when colleagues had all the symptoms, people were still asked to come to office - constructive criticism is not welcomed and not appreciated - seems to happen regularly that people are let go at the end of their probation period without a previous feedback, or any valid reasons. Three cases in 8 months. - Not really any opportunity for growth, unless you are very close to the management

Hi there. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for being honest about the way you felt at On. We’re glad that you’ve enjoyed your team and that you liked the benefits we’re offering to everyone at On. We’re sorry to hear that you didn’t feel safe while you’ve been part of our team. We’ve followed the local regulations from day 1 of the pandemic, including strict home office rules.

Pros

Lots of free shoes Very well intended people Culture with lots of great virtues Cool product, excellent marketing

Cons

All the free shoes squeak People lead with slide decks - heavy consulting culture Lots of virtue signaling I think they started off fast and agile and grew too fast and became a dinosaur who still genuinely thought it was agile. Most everyone in my team was unhappy. People felt they couldn’t express their true selves at work. I would not recommend it as a place to work.
