Bombas reviews

company has no leadership outside of the ceo, no strategic vision, no direction and no plans for growth. the days of dtc companies having no expanded distribution or robust product roadmap are over. company cares more about its mission of doing good (which to be 100% transparent is admirable and important) than nailing the fundamentals culture is all smoke and mirrors. if you are not a chosen favorite amongst the legacy employees, good luck fitting in or even thinking of advancing (not that there is any career mapping or anything of the sort). distribution of roles and responsibilities and prioritization of functional areas makes no sense and is not indicative of a legitimate organization. to be blunt, there is more headcount dedicated to fluff roles, not core operational or revenue driving roles. there have been some glaring fundamental areas to address in improving the business and no one either wants to or care to address them. the revolving door of leaders isn't an accident and the advent and departure of leaders from under armour cannot fix the fundamental problems with this company. salary is far below market value and equity is next to worthless given an exit isn't likely. for a company that purports itself on an amazing culture, it somewhat falls flat when you sift out the surface level perks. company cares more about winning awards than cultivating actual talent.

If you're wondering about the high company rating, it's because they encouraged the company to write reviews to win awards. But if you really look at the reviews, as of this posting most of the reviews are over 1 to 2 years old. I'm certain the newer relevant reviews won't be the same * The lack of transparency and the duplicitousness is high. They brought the company together to celebrate how well we’re doing, only to lay off a large portion of the company the next week * Inconsistent review cycles and treatment. During my time there we probably had 1 review in 3 years. This allowed the favoritism and bias to come out, allowing people who, by any industry standard, should not have been promoted to the title they have (Imagine someone with 8 years of experience getting promoted to a title that requires 20+ years of experience). Meanwhile the unlucky ones will wait a long time for promotions * “Remote friendly,” if they like you. On teams that can be remote, they’ll single out individuals and passive aggressively hint that you should be in person. On teams that are required to be in office, it doesn’t apply to the whole team as certain people get special treatment. It’s very unfair to deal with people’s lives and careers like this in an unspoken, hushed manner * Resourcing for teams is imbalanced. Some teams consistently work close to 60 hours a week, while other teams have time to take 8+ weeks of vacation a year. When the problem goes on for years, people start to feel taken advantage of * The executive team has had a series of departures in the past year alone. CFO, Chief Product Officer, Chief People Officer…seems like bad leadership decisions is causing the company to do it’s 3rd round of layoffs in a year
