SharkNinja Employee Perspectives

The way SharkNinja is different than a lot of places is the agency and the ability to make massive impact regardless of your position here. That’s something that I’ve never seen at anywhere else that I’ve ever worked.

Alex Forman,

I think SharkNinja really helps to foster career acceleration. And the best part about it is that you don’t have to ask for permission to really dive into an opportunity and challenge and take everything on to push yourself and grow. We’ve got different coaching tools and different support structures, so we’re always making sure not only are we bringing in the right team, but we’re continuing to fuel them and foster growth with all of the different resources that we bring.

 I think the essence of SharkNinja is really the innovation and the creativity that our associates put into everything. We aim to make everything that we do a little bit better every time and are never really satisfied with the status quo.

The opportunities are endless. We’re constantly coming out with new products and building in new product categories — that opens up a world of opportunities for growth and challenge and that’s what I’ve loved so much about working here is I’ve learned so much, I’ve grown so much, and I think anyone who is inspired by that mindset and wants that for themselves is a good candidate for SharkNinja.

Shannon McSweeney, Senior Director of Global Product Development

The thing that’s kept me here is the ownership that I have. The amount of impact that I can make and the speed at which we develop our products. The ability to just work on something, drive it with the team, and then see it on shelves at Target, Walmart, or wherever is just amazing.

SharkNinja Employee Reviews

Culture is the most underestimated competitive advantage in business. At SharkNinja, it’s our biggest one. We hire people who refuse to settle, point them at real consumer problems, and get out of the way.

We have a phrase that's called  obsessed with winning and so everyone is trying to put the best possible products out on the market. Everyone wants to win and win big.

SharkNinja is a place where you can make mistakes, everyone here is willing to help you. There's always going to be someone who has an answer for you or someone that can lead you in the right direction, and sometimes that's all you need. You're not by yourself, we all work together, it's a cohesive thing, it's like a family.

Outrageously extraordinary is challenging yourself and shooting for the stars to try to find different ways to look at a problem. You have to put yourself in uncomfortable positions and sometimes it leads to frustration, but then you reflect on that, you learn from it and move forward. SharkNinja embraces failure because it's part of success, you have to try until you get it right. The culture at SharkNinja really inspires you to do that, everyone's here trying to make that big leap, to continue improving.
