Absolutely horrendous leadership. The CEO justifies chaos at every opportunity. Relentless prioritization and associate recognition is a complete joke. The ELT has no ability to prioritize, leading to shifting EMERGENCIES every single day. Every email received from the COO includes “URGENT! PLEASE PRIORITIZE!”. The personal disrespect and hostility from leadership is an underlying current at Shark Ninja that is inescapable.
There is zero work/life balance, especially as you reach upper levels of the org. You WILL be expected to work 12 hour days. You WILL be expected to respond real time to emails and teams messages on the weekends and while on vacation. You will NOT be permitted to have a family, health, or personal emergency without being judged and looked down upon. As payment for your sacrifices and dedication, you will be publicly flogged by senior leadership.
The performance review cycle is a joke. I was not asked for a self review, was given no performance appraisal, no one was consulted regarding my performance. I was delivered a score with no feedback. Substantial accomplishments and feedback from across the organization that I am “a rockstar” was not reflected.
If you value your self worth, run, do not walk away from this company.
