Pros

Decent access to discounts across products

Cons

This is truly one of the worst places you could ever work. Management is horrible—they consistently speak to employees in condescending tones and micromanage as if their lives depend on it. Many seem to get a thrill out of controlling young workers, which comes across as super weird and borderline sadistic. As someone with years of experience in the workforce, it’s clear that their practices and treatment of staff are completely unethical. You’re spoken to like you’re disposable, not trusted to do your job, and constantly criticized over minor tasks. The environment is incredibly toxic, leaving you feeling unappreciated and emotionally drained. The workplace itself is unwelcoming, with rampant favoritism undermining any sense of fairness. They claim to prioritize career progression, but that’s far from reality. The same goes for their talk about diversity and inclusion—their actions couldn’t be further from the truth.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to read this – no one should feel disrespected or unvalued at work. While this isn’t the culture we strive to build at On, we recognize that intent and impact can differ and we take your words seriously. We know that leadership is fundamental to any positive team environment. That’s why we continuously invest in leadership training, focused on building trust and adaptive communication. There’s still work to be done and we’ll continue prioritizing this. We’re also aware that culture is felt in the day-to-day – in how feedback is given, how people are treated, and whether there’s a real sense of belonging. Thank you.

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.
