Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

The culture at Gymshark was really lovely, everyone was very welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere wasn’t as great when going through the restructure. But overall there was a very inclusive, supportive and friendly atmosphere, particular in the Lifting Club.
