Pros

As others have noted, SN is devoid of any real process management. If you are very lucky, this can create the space for young engineers to gain experience and exposure your friends at other companies would only dream of. SharkNinja can launch your career. I don't want to understate this. This is true for 5% of the engineers I worked with.

Cons

5% is 1 in 20. For everyone else, the other 19, you become a mindless cog in a broken wheel. Most of the engineers I worked with bounced weekly from project to project, never really moving ahead or building their skills. As SN has no SOP and doesn't follow typical development cycles, those engineers not only have no consistency to their project portfolio, they have not built up a solid base of work related skills they can transfer to a new job. In short, when they decide to leave after 15 months, they are no further ahead. When entering a new job, I have talked to a number of former employees that find themselves totally unprepared for life outside of SN.

Pros

Great group of people you work with

Cons

Wild Wild West environment. Leadership does not believe in or use standard processes or practices. Unwilling to make the necessary investments in infrastructure to move become a big boy company. They do not readily take advice or recommendations from mid level management. Only a small group of 3-4 leaders are empowered to make decisions and they still need M&M approvals. Daily / weekly reset of priorities. Drives most Hi-Po professionals out with in 12-18 months. Staff is expected to work 12-16 hour days during the NPD cycle. No work/life balance in any group.

Pros

It looks auspicious from the outside looking in.

Cons

Their strategy to clear all the bad reviews by changing the business name was impressively devious. The management is lacking polished and influential leaders. They provide no clear and concise path for enthusiasts that want to propel their career. Employes that are not a correct fit they shun enough until they feel forced to leave. It is an unhealthy environment to say the least. If you are looking for a quick resume builder from a financially (because they are stagnant in most other areas) growing company in which you can hit 2 years with and run for the hills for a healthier alternative- this is a great fit! And for the record, yes, the Christmas parties are quite splendid, but I can promise you that 75% of those faces you will not see at next years party.
