      Not a good place to work - Senior Software Engineer On Employee Review

      Pros

      - nice and friendly colleagues - shop credit and discounts - regular vouchers given for shop products - a lot of opportunities to do sports

      Cons

      - no trust from management to employees, leading to toxic work environment - irresponsible handling of COVID situation. People were asked to come to the office in the midst of the pandemic, and more the once the office was overcrowded. Even on cases when colleagues had all the symptoms, people were still asked to come to office - constructive criticism is not welcomed and not appreciated - seems to happen regularly that people are let go at the end of their probation period without a previous feedback, or any valid reasons. Three cases in 8 months. - Not really any opportunity for growth, unless you are very close to the management

      Hi there. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for being honest about the way you felt at On. We’re glad that you’ve enjoyed your team and that you liked the benefits we’re offering to everyone at On. We’re sorry to hear that you didn’t feel safe while you’ve been part of our team. We’ve followed the local regulations from day 1 of the pandemic, including strict home office rules. The wellbeing and health of our people is our main priority and office based work remains optional currently so we are surprised to hear you felt pressured to come in. Our latest survey amongst all members of our team showed that 88% would recommend On as a great place to work. We’re sorry that this hasn’t been what you felt, and we hear you. As a company, we want to learn from our failures. Please reach out to someone in our On Talent Team that you feel comfortable with and share your thoughts and experiences with them. We value your feedback as we’re always striving to become better and ensure a great place to work for everyone in our team. Your On Talent Team

      Pros

      Room for growth, especially if you really go looking for opportunities. Most of the opportunities are within retail. Don’t expect to be launched into a corporate role from a retail role.

      Cons

      - Pay is not good. Similar retailers pay several dollars more per hour and offer better benefits. They say that the rate is competitive but having worked for several other retailers, it’s not. - Operations are a nightmare. The company has scaled too fast and has left many loose ends that are still not tied up. Good luck finding answers to any problem that comes up. Be warned that paychecks and benefits WILL get screwed up. There are so many inconsistencies that make for more work and needless interpersonal friction. - Too much information is available for the entire company to view. There are not appropriate channels built in to limit access to information based on title and responsibilities. - Company culture is fine, but not for everyone. I did not feel welcome. I would not recommend working here unless you do super well with ambiguity. This company is still running like a startup.
