Pros

A lot of wonderful humans work for On.

Cons

On continues to get worse and worse as far as moral, leadership and culture. It’s almost as if the more resources and revenue they have, the less they choose to reciprocate the efforts of the wonderful people who literally keep the company afloat. A lot of the things I’ve seen seem straight up illegal, and I wouldn’t doubt that they may find themselves in some tough spots soon enough between the way they treat the employees and the lack of knowledge and understanding senior leadership seems to have around the needs of the business and people that make it run. The hierarchy and politics that came along with the IPO was expected to a degree, but grossly blew expectations out of the water with the choices made and the continued changes they prioritize. Leadership is living in a whole other world and unfortunately does not care about anyone, unless for personal gain. A lot of egos being hired who have no true knowledge but a whole lot of social game and manipulation to play into the longer standing leadership, who are so detached from the business and people that they would listen to anyone with a title and story. A lot of marionettes and puppeteers. I would also agree with a previous review in that HR is a mess, and definitely not a safe place to go to with any complaints or for support. There is no confidentiality or accountability, and they don’t seem to have enough emotional intelligence to leave anyone feeling comforted, reassured or supported. On attracts hardworking people who prioritize kindness and integrity. Unfortunately, those people often get torn down over time and are constantly taken advantage of. I couldn’t recommend On to anyone I care about, or even someone I don’t.

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.
