Pros

Modern office, decent benefits, 50% discount on clothes if you're into them

Cons

For a company that talks about how important their values are literally pastes them on the walls, they sure don't give a darn about what is going outside of the Gymshark bubble. The leadership team is embarrassingly quiet around issues that impact it's customers and employees. "F_ standing on the sidelines" is something that's commonly said, but it doesn't go much further than saying the words. It's easy to see when the culture all went downhill - when Ben took over as CEO and suddenly it was every person for themselves. A lot of favoritism. But at the end of the day, those folks weren't safe either come layoffs. Seeing how messy it is from the inside explains why the clothes haven't evolved and are generally tasteless.

Pros

Gymshark really sticks to its core values. The people are awesome and great to work with. Excellent work-life balance.

Cons

As a UK-based company, working in the United States is tough sometimes. We often get information late from our UK partners. The company definitely needs to build out its US office more and add more vital job functions.
