Pros

SharkNinja is a great company to work for if the fit is right. The culture and pace is not for everyone, so be sure to have a healthy sense of personal awareness and do your due diligence to understand what success looks like here. In my opinion, the company is doing a good job recently to set expectations up front, as early as the interview process. One of the best parts of working at SharkNinja is that the team is comprised of A+ players. Everyone is motivated, smart and collaborative. They have fun and get work done, fast. Leadership is extremely smart and demanding. They motivate you to be and expect you to be; at the top of your game every day. I learned a tremendous amount in a short period of time and was rewarded for my contributions to the brands. This is a company that never sits still and has incredible product innovation, category expansion and growth numbers to show for it. If you are looking to work hard, thrive under pressure, are comfortable working without a playbook and want to learn a ton then SharkNinja will be a good place for you.

Cons

Marketing here is mostly Product Marketing.

Pros

Impactful work from Day 1 and a great learning experience

Cons

If you are not in the headquarter office, you may miss out on some networking opportunities but the early talent team do their best in providing as many opportunities as possible.

Pros

Some good peers that make the days slightly bearable with the group chat of how ridiculous and hellish the place is

Cons

The speed and agility are just code names for ceo paranoia and inability to make and stick to decisions. Toxic environment perpetuated by the lifers. Entire departments are pit against each other. A culture of public shaming and blaming with a side of discrimination and misogyny. It is absolute chaos and makes you regress professionally because after a while all you do is “yes” the ceo and do things the Shark way which is essentially the Mark way and 0% what other orgs would do or what you learned about/experienced previously. Micromanaging starts from the very top. Product issues daily. People cry daily. Ridiculously high turnover. So much bullying and favoritism. Extremely top heavy and lots of VPs+ to attend meetings but not enough people to actually work. Those in leadership are also unprofessional and liabilities. No work life balance. No respect. Backstabby. Even the meeting are aggressive and called hacks, red teams, sledge hammer approach etc. The best way to be successful here is to be a super caffeinated visible sycophant that is fine with no life outside of work. People note the high comp but it’s not worth it and is not enough compared to the hours actually worked and all the stress and anxiety that comes with it. The moral and mental health here are the lowest I’ve ever seen.
