Pros

The money was fine. The team (was) great.

Cons

As many of the reviews state - there are too many cons to list in one review and remain somewhat objective - but I will try in hopes that I can sway any seasoned professional away from making a terrible career decision. The basic situation is this - they can't keep people long enough to have a positive work culture. This is evidenced by the steady stream of open positions listed here on Glassdoor or elsewhere. Either people leave quickly or fall victim to fickle, fire-happy upper management. I am not exaggerating when I say that I saw 3 people in one position over 2 years... and it looks like they are hiring for that role once again. Don't believe that your past experience means anything here. They don't want leaders, they want soldiers. They don't want ideas or advice, they want execution. I have found that the people most successful at this company are those that have not worked anywhere else to know that things don't have to be as bad as they are at SharkNinja.

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.
