Pros

This company has great product and free breakfast. the work environments can be positive depending on what department and who your supervisor is.

Cons

Don't believe everything you read because as soon as this company found out about the honest reviews that were being posted portraying a company that has immense amounts of favoritism and a lack of caring for people as human beings they encouraged people to go write positive reviews. I wouldn't be surprised if they paid them. I'm sure most of these people are worried about being retaliated against if they don't write a positive review. All the reviews describing a spoiled rotten rich boy running the company are true. They definitely favor asian speaking people and if you went to UCLA your in. They treat people like slaves and expect the world from them. the big basketball court and the squandering of money to look important would mane most honest working people sick to their stomach. If you have been there for awhile your allowed to be complacent and treat people like trash. Management is embarrassing at best!!!

Pros

They have Free yoga classes and good garbage cans

Cons

I hated my career at Simplehuman. The micromanaging, toxic and not inclusive environment made it so hard to fit in. The CEO, Frank, is so involved in every aspect of the business. Employees are so afraid to go against his decision whether it makes their jobs harder or not. They are there to execute his orders. If you want to be a puppet, Simplehuman is the place for you. I was blinded by the nice look of the office and the free yoga classes. I left on my own accord because I refused to be in an environment where the team and the management were not supportive and work in a toxic environment. If I can give a 0 star, I would. On a positive note, this experience taught me to do my due diligence and also take the negative reviews seriously. Knowing what I know now, would not put much trust in most of the positive reviews. I have moved on and the best decision I have done for myself. I wrote the review in the hope I can help any potential candidates.

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).
