Pros

I partnered w the organization as a contract Talent Partner and represented their brand for 9 months. Their entire team/ culture were wonderful to partner with - emphasizing their engineering team where I mostly recruited. Employees have a well balanced work/life - remote environment. Being a remote first company, they invest in offsites and other team engagement activities throughout the year. The foundation from product, services, and culture they've created thus far have only set them up for much success in the next part of their business evolution. Great job Fitbod

Cons

none - where will you go next?! :)

Pros

• There is a strong team of talented, dedicated, and hardworking individual contributors who are committed to success. • Flexible work environment that allows for independent scheduling of work around meetings. • You’ll be contributing to a functional product that delivers value to it's loyal user base. • The company offers excellent benefits, including a competitive salary, remote work flexibility, full insurance coverage, stock options, office stipend, and unlimited PTO.

Cons

• The company would greatly benefit from more inclusive and diverse hiring practices and leadership representation. • Enforcing the previously established merit-based system for promotions and recognition would be meaningful to employees feeling valued and being compensated justly. • Leaders & managers would benefit from fostering a more collaborative environment where employees feel encouraged to share their expertise and perspectives. • By adopting a forward thinking approach to innovation and marketing, the company could better compete in the Health & Fitness category (7th to 18th in 2 years) to re-establish its market position. • Little to no internal infrastructure (IT, HR, Legal, DEI, etc) to help support employees.

Thanks for your thoughtful review. We're proud of our talented and hardworking team, and agree that our flexible, remote-first environment and strong benefits are meaningful parts of the Fitbod experience. We also agree there are areas where we can—and must—do better. Diversity, representation, and inclusion are top of mind for us. While we’ve made some progress, we know it's not enough, and we’re actively working to improve hiring practices, representation, and internal systems of support. While it’s true that as a small company, we don’t yet have extensive infrastructure in every function (like IT, DEI, etc.), we do have Legal and People/HR in place, and we're always looking for ways to improve how we support employees. What we lack in layers of bureaucracy, we strive to make up for in individual ownership, speed, and trust. Lastly, we’ve recently revised our rewards and compensation framework to more clearly recognize and reward high-performing individuals—something we hope continues to build trust and alignment going forward. We appreciate you taking the time to share both the highs and the areas for growth.
