What this company lacks in integrity, it makes up for not knowing what it's doing...at all! - Anonymous employee simplehuman Employee Review

Pros

There's free product every now and then

Cons

If I wrote anything here, I would be telling the same Cons as everyone else. No matter what year the review was written, nothing has changed. Before accepting a position here I reached out to a former employee on LinkedIn and asked their opinion. They ended the message by saying not to work here. I will now give that same advise to you, the reader of this message - do not work at this company (unless of course you really need that paycheck...sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do).

Pros

Nice facilities and frequent activities during lunch hours.

Cons

Nearly all work ultimately revolves around meeting the expectations of the CEO/founder, which is challenging because direction can be unclear, inconsistent, and subject to sudden changes. Priorities often shift without communication or explanation, making it difficult to plan ahead or work with any sense of stability. It frequently felt like teams were trying to interpret what the CEO wanted rather than following a coherent strategy. You might be aligned one day only to find the expectations have changed the next, not due to the quality of the work but simply because his ideas had shifted. This created a reactive environment where people were constantly doubting themselves and second-guessing. The result is a workplace where morale is noticeably low and employees appear stressed and uncertain about how to succeed. If you value clarity, consistent communication, or a collaborative culture, this environment may be challenging.
