Pros

Perks, flexible working pattern( hybrid), nice 360 view from the Zurich office

Cons

Old timers at On are overwhelmed with suggestions and opinions coming from new joiners, HR team has bad, bad attitude towards the managers treating them like enemies, very little partnership. Compensation below the market level in some functions despite a high ambition to attract the top talent. Leaders don’t necessarily walk the talk when it comes to company’s values. Poor transparency, not allowing mistakes and not much opportunity to spread the wings for ambitious people to grow & challenge the status quo. Put the On shoes and run away!

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.
