Pros

The opportunity to make a lot of money is there. If you are passionate about fitness, technology, and leading a healthy lifestyle you will be surrounded by likeminded people. You are well taken care of on work trips. Healthy snacks are always available.

Cons

Peloton started out as my dream company to work for. That passion for the brand and my job quickly diminished with a change in management. I can't speak for all staff, but certainly my department didn't run by the same company culture that made us fall in love with our jobs in the first place. Management can talk the talk, but in no way can they walk the walk. Part of the core values are to challenge the status quo, think critically, and have the autonomy to make our own decisions. If we failed, we were to fail fast and learn from the mistakes. This was supposed to help us grow and break barriers. Management would remind us of these values, but if you place them into practice and they aren't inline with their thoughts, ideas, and beliefs, you were seen as not adapting to the changes or not seeing the vision. They have a top-down management style, although they would say it is bottom-up. There is an absence of transparency as to the changes going on and the proper support to be successful at your job. Everything is political. If you state your concerns or opinion, or do not share the same ideas, eventually you will be fired. They want a team of people who agree with them on everything. Management has lack of confidence with their ability to drive the business unless they surround themselves with a team of followers. I was lied to about my benefits.

Pros

Peloton pays above market compensation for Director + roles and is not shy about title inflation [a VP at Peloton is maybe a Senior Manager or Director at most companies]

Cons

There are way too many officers and they are vastly overpaid, and a completely failing team. Product can't develop hardware to hit target cost, software is full of bugs, and every big swing was a big miss. Commercial leadership is so disengaged and doesn't know what the teams even do. Chief Legal Officer seems obsessed with wasting money. The People team has to spin constant negatives as good for employees and will lie directly to employees. The CFO [who is thankfully leaving] attacks peers regularly to deflect from her failure to meet basic Finance competency (closing books, paying vendors on time, or forecast sales). New COO held a similar position at a smaller less complex company that is now bankrupt and the CMO's professional experience is riddled with extreme exaggerations.
