Pros

Perks, flexible working pattern( hybrid), nice 360 view from the Zurich office

Cons

Old timers at On are overwhelmed with suggestions and opinions coming from new joiners, HR team has bad, bad attitude towards the managers treating them like enemies, very little partnership. Compensation below the market level in some functions despite a high ambition to attract the top talent. Leaders don’t necessarily walk the talk when it comes to company’s values. Poor transparency, not allowing mistakes and not much opportunity to spread the wings for ambitious people to grow & challenge the status quo. Put the On shoes and run away!

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.
