On
On is a premium sportswear brand, delivering industry-disrupting footwear, apparel, and accessories for high-performance running, tennis, outdoor, and all-day activities. On exists at the intersection of performance, design and impact.
Inside the Company
On was founded in 2010 by three Swiss friends, Olivier Bernhard, David Allemann and Caspar Coppetti. Born between Zürich and the Engadin mountains, consistent innovation has driven global growth to challenge the sportswear industry with performance, design and impact at the core. The original goal was not to create another running shoe – but to throw away the standard model and make something better. The first prototype was created using pieces of garden hose and soon after CloudTec™ was born. True to its roots, On remains innovation and design-led with a world-class team of over 3500 people bringing trailblazing creations to life from the Zürich-based On Labs and across global hubs from Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi to Shanghai, Portland, New York, Berlin, London, Tokyo and more.
Mission and Vision
On's mission is to ignite the human spirit through movement. With the belief that amazing things happen when you move, On sets out to inspire people to Dream On. The five Spirirts – Explorer, Ahlete, Team, Positive and Survivor – are On’s core values and the principles that guide the team.
Culture and Benefits
Personal growth and well-being at On are guided by three pillars: mind, body and purpose – taking a holistic approach to learning, development, work and well-being. Teams have a range of tools to flexibly choose a path that is best for their needs. This combines a supportive, team-oriented atmosphere, with access to personal self-care for both physical and mental well-being, so each person is led by purpose. On’s teams are built through diverse viewpoints and diverse backgrounds, rich in different mindsets with inclusion and continuous improvement at the core.
Opportunities
Welcoming talent in the beginning stages of their career plays an important role in how On grows as a company. Early career programs have been designed for a range of levels, and typically without prerequisites, keeping the playing field as inclusive as possible.
On offers three main programs in early careers – internships, apprenticeships and the Product Creation Academy, a rotational trainee program designed to develop functional experts in product creation.
On is an environment with perpetual growth in mind, invested in giving all teammates the tools to prosper.
