Pros

You get a lesson in building cheap poorly engineered products that are fast paced marketed. And you get to see that owner of the company has a formula for working young low experienced people into the ground.

Cons

Meeting the management is a real treat! You will notice that only requirement for these positions is fast action and micro management with little planning. The owner has tossed out the HR department a few times now because they disagreed with the management. The last time was during COVID.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Your experience at SharkNinja is inconsistent with what we hope to create for our team members. Our People & Culture team strives to work closely with associates, managers, and leadership to listen, learn, and improve our work culture.

Pros

You'll work with some of the smartest, hardest working people who create great product.

Cons

BUT the executive leadership destroys any ability to create processes, work smart, and plan ahead. Most directors' jobs are to execute because they don't have time to spend on training or developing their teams. There are NO review processes, NO onboarding, NO training/development, NO feedback cycles. Decisions are made on the whims of the 2 leading execs. They lead with a culture of fear that is toxic and breeds competition and distrust amongst cross functional teams. If you want to succeed at any other company outside of SharkNinja, beware. This is a black hole and has a reputation as such. Really the only people who come here are 1. desperate and/or 2. naive, and the people who thrive here wouldn't in a normal, decent company.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for your contributions to SharkNinja. We are sad to hear that you feel this way about our culture. SharkNinja has a unique approach and mindset to developing products, and we believe it is the cornerstone to our success and sets up apart from the competition. This approach is fluid and iterative and is how we consistently bring 5-star products to our consumers. However, fluidity shouldn’t equate to inefficiency and frustration, and we are constantly looking for opportunities to improve. We are a very hands-on company where many teams work closely in step with senior leadership on a daily or weekly basis. It is an approach that has proven to be key to our success. We’d appreciate hearing more about your perspective and work to improve the elements that may have led to your poor experience. We’d welcome your thoughts and suggestions on this topic. https://bit.ly/sharkninjafeedback
