What is working from home like at Gymshark?

Good work life balance, wfh flexibility and ability to travel to HQ

Input was not always considered

- Really positive company culture, everyone you meet is always so willing to have a genuine conversation as well as getting the work that needs to be done. - Feels like a great transition from University into the Workplace, especially with the layout of the office, it offers so many different spaces to either have a chat, or a meeting in - Sooooooo many perks and benefits!!!! really does make a difference being able to have access to an incredible gym and classes onsite, as well as subsidised lunches everyday, private healthcare and sooo much more!

- Location of the offices if you were someone who doesn't drive, however there is shuttle buses from the train station nearby and also the flexibility to work from home also does help

The team I worked in was lovely and passionate about their roles, great gym on site and working out during shift was encouraged, canteen food is amazing, offices are bright and inviting, flexi working hours, pay was fair for my role .

Firstly, I loved my time working for Gymshark and I think its a great brand, however there are cracks that have started to show in the last couple of years. I feel the work from home policy should have a bit more flex, as 3 out of the 5 days of a week, some of us spend the majority of our day in zoom meetings due to talking to overseas and LDN teams so there's just no need to be in the office for that. What I'm about to say is out of genuine interest in the well-being and longevity of the company. There are some egos and cliches amongst Heads of and Director levels. I've not personally seen it in the C Levels. I had a first hand experience - and saw this happen to others before it happened to me - where a Head of made a mistake and tried to pass the blame onto me, I assume to keep their cool, clean slate amongst their friends. Fortunately I had records and evidence to back myself and got left alone very quickly. I never heard anything about the mistake ever again so I'm assuming it all got swept under the carpet. I've noticed this behaviour rub off on some staff underneath these type of Managers. Despite preaching about a no blame culture, if something goes wrong, fingers will be pointed. Accountability is obviously necessary, so that processes can be improved and teams can build on mistakes, but the panicky finger pointing from above can create a short burst of toxic culture. Gymshark as a whole is better than that.

Employee discount, nice office, office snacks

In office, no wfh. Low pay. Poor culture
