This company was great for me, but I can see why some don't like it.
Pros
I have tremendous respect for the employees at this company. My time at Peloton was full of growth, learning and adjusting. It takes a very capable team to handle everything that came our way. You will be inspired by the leadership AND the employees at this company. Pros: -Working with incredibly smart, talented individuals. - You will be challenged again and again. Lots of opportunities to take on projects if you're looking for them. - CEO knew everyone by name, actually cared about your life (I wasn't in management either) - A lot of work to be done! The company is growing like crazy. - Work/life balance is pretty great here. - Perks and health insurance are uh-mazing. - The product. Oh man, it's AWESOME. The bike was one of my favorite things about this company. One day I hope to be able to afford one :P (employees do get a great discount)
Cons
- There is definitely some ego in the office. I never really got over that. - Fast growth = growing pains. The company will take a while to figure out how to manage itself as a corporation, not necessarily a scrappy start up. - So fast-paced it's easy to get left in the dust. You need to be prepared to work hard and deliver results, but also don't lose sight of what's coming next. - When I was there, there wasn't a system for employee reviews. It was hard to tell if you were doing the right stuff and succeeding at it. - Definitely some inter-company politics. Not a dealbreaker, but just know they're there. I see the word "incestuous" in other reviews. I'm not sure what that means, but it seems to point to spouses and significant others working for the company. That is true, but I never saw any issues with nepotism or favoritism. Everyone is treated pretty fairly IMO. - Oh, probably not a lot of FAST career growth there right now. Hiring a lot of external leadership. This company is not a startup anymore (kind of a pro and a con)
