Pros

Bombas has historically been an amazing place to work, ranking consistently in the top 100 places to work. The benefits are great and they find ways to get everyone involved!

Cons

I had three different black managers leave Bombas because of gaslightlighting and microaggressions, and they dont have many black employees to begin with. This behavior is pretty common in the legacy employees who have been in Bombas for 7+ years. Bombas also changed a lot during the pandemic. Prior to that, the company was amazing but things slowly changed and the company left its start up roots to pursue more of a corporate ladder climbing culture. There are people in the ELT that really have no clue what they're doing, primarily on the brand/creative side. These people got the job due to clear nepotism (e.g. their qualifications include them going to summer camp with the founder in the northeast, not joking). I'd also be wary of the marketing team as they operate like an agency. Long hours, weekend meetings, and constantly changes to the spend forecast or campaign strategy. It's very exhausting.

Pros

Coworkers are good people, but I can't say the same things for leadership!

Cons

Leadership is incompetent, but they act as if they do everything all by themselves! Employees do all the hard work, but leadership takes credit for all of it and treats them as nothing more than cannon fodders! Even if you were desperate for a job, I wouldn't recommend working here under any circumstances!
