Pros
the free samples and discounts are fun, the ability to work for a brand that genuinely lives and breathes its mission isn't to be taken for granted.
Cons
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.
