Pros

I’ve had a really positive experience working at Ancient + Brave over the years. From day one, the culture felt genuinely value-driven. One of the biggest highlights is the collaborative environment. People are approachable, supportive, and open to ideas regardless of seniority, which makes it easy to contribute, feel heard and have a real impact. Leadership communicates the brand vision clearly. The company offers excellent opportunities for professional development while also supporting employee wellbeing. Overall, Ancient + Brave is an inspiring company with a strong culture and a team that truly believes in the mission. I genuinely feel at home here and constantly supported.

Cons

The pace is fast, as you’d expect from a brand that has seen such significant growth, this means there are plenty of opportunities to learn however processes and structures continue to evolve so being adaptable and comfortable with a lot of change is important! Expectations are high, as Ancient + Brave never do anything half-heartedly. Some deadlines can be a challenge.

Pros

Originally a few select lovely team members, products were great, innovative.

Cons

Toxic, founder fear which bled into the rest of the team, no flexible work options and alarming turnover of staff unless you were too scared to move and locked in through fear of being there from the start.

Pros

Very few positives a couple of good eggs in the team but it won’t be long until they leave.

Cons

A culture built on fear and quite literally feels like a cult and not in a good way in a genuinely fear way. Employee average tenure is horrific with most senior leadership lasting less than 3 months.
