Pros
Beachbody has been always so flexible and loving, I was able to continue my education while working full time, until I finished my B.S. degree. Beachbody was always supporting me all the way. For me education is really important and they offer so many opportunities for growth in leadership. Thanks!
Cons
Every team, including IT needs to push towards always making the company revenue and learning about attribution.
Advice to Management
Learning about attribution

Pros
Great benefits, free snacks, on site gym, tuition reimbursement, flexible work schedule, unlimited PTO
Cons
Promotions are difficult to achieve. Raises are far and none. If you do see promotions and raises, you seem to ask yourself why did they get one? What do they do here? Favoritism is obvious. Upper management claims to have a hiring freeze but brings in multiple VPs with ridiculous salaries. Go figure...
Advice to Management
Hire the worker bees that actually run the business. The company is at a state where everyone is overworked and you decide to bring in people who are new to the business and can’t lead. Why do you need a Director, Senior Director, VP, and Senior VP in one department and only have 2 lower level employees that actually do the work and make you look good? People will eventually start leaving.

There's a lot of flexibility here which is a big plus.
Cons
Promotions are very difficult to achieve. When you do hear about promotions you find out they are being done behind the scenes because everyone is being told all promotions and hiring's are frozen.
Advice to Management
Tell your employees the truth about what is happening so they don't hear about it from the rumor mill.

Pros
Great benefits, great work/life balance, flexible schedule, gym on site that you are actually encouraged to use, very friendly and diverse employees, and overall a fun place to work.
Cons
Like many quickly growing companies, there are some growing pains and uncertainty. Layoffs two years in row were difficult and took some time for company to clearly define their vision for the future, but I think they're on the right footing.
Advice to Management
Keep offering good benefits and accepting feedback from employees. Keep up the transparency and accountability of senior management.

Pros
Great work life balance and great pay. Opportunity to work with talented people and to develop your career. The company really does try to take care of the employees.
Cons
There has been high turnover as of late, but this has also been an opportunity to take on more responsibility and grow one's skillset

Pros
Ok Benefits
Unlimited PTO
you'll probably get laid off so you can collect unemploymentCons
This place has so much potential but, at it's heart is just another Multi Level Marketing scam. Don't fall for it.
Many before you have tried to fix the issues of that they have and they failed.
Leadership is incompetent and only concerned with lining their own pockets.
This place is toxic to its core.
The yearly lay off should tell you that.
Also the mass exodus of talent.Advice to Management
Not much you can do. Resign and let this company go under gracefully.

Pros
No PTO, unlimited vacation at (at the discretion of management)
Kitchens with snacks and coffeeCons
Year after year of mass layoffs resulting in low morale and gaps that lower-level employees have to fill, directors and above are clueless to the amount of work other take up, so much so that people are asked to write their own new job descriptions- but not in an opportunistic way, it’s so management can poke holes in it (as it’s the first they’re hearing of all that work being done under them) and hold people back.
Reputation in the Socal tech business world is that if you work at Beachbody, you will suffer from title inflation and will be unable to perform at that title’s responsibilities at the next company you bounce to. Recruiters are warned of this, too.
Discrimination, no encouragement, finger-pointing and backstabbing.
Stuck in old ways.
Selling snake oil (but that one’s obvious)Advice to Management
Layoff people who can’t innovate, promotions by default doesn’t create a leader, the company is fixed in its own practice of politics that have caused it to go downhill and start a fresh company to try to steer the sinking ship.
If you promise something, carry it out.
Take it as a sign when good, ambitious talent keeps leaving.Beachbody 2018-10-24 12:35 PDTHelpful (2)

Pros
This is my view from the Digital side - we launched a rapidly growing streaming subscription app in BOD a couple of years back, and are working on a green field project that will make us highly competitive in the Fitech space. Executive sponsor gets that we need to innovate to compete, that we need to incubate or evolve from a marketing and sales culture to an innovation and product engineering culture. Road to transformation is challenging for a company of this size, but there is appetite and willing to invest in this.
Cons
There are definitely issues and challenges with Beachbody, but no more or less than any billion dollar company. I strongly feel the opportunities here outweigh the obstacles, otherwise I would not be here.
Advice to Management
Listen to your product and engineering leaders, they are the stewards that will take this company to the next level.
