Pros

The new office is great. Beautiful views in great location.

Cons

Some people are hired remotely. Some commute from the west coast every other week. Some people lived in Boston and went on to buy a house elsewhere. There is 0 consistency in policy and seems to be based on favorites. Some that started years ago were never given the option to negotiate this, and its changed the course of big life decisions. Yes, some roles require being hands on in the office. But not all.

Thank you for taking the time to share your review on Glassdoor. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to address your concerns. We are glad to hear that you appreciate the new office with its beautiful views and great location. There's really nothing like having lunch on the 8th-floor patio! Thank you for your feedback regarding our hybrid work policy. This policy is designed to recognize that flexibility is key to fostering a healthy work-life balance, enhancing employee well-being, and promoting productivity. It also allows for consistent in-office time to maximize teamwork, collaboration, and innovation. The policy allows for Boston-based corporate employees to work from home two days a week and from the office three days a week. You are correct that some employees were hired as remote employees, and while they travel to Boston with regularity, they do not live in the Greater Boston Area. When an employee has personal circumstances and, therefore, a request that falls outside the parameters of this hybrid work policy, we encourage them to reach out to their Manager and People Business Partner so that a mutually beneficial solution that aligns with both the personal requirements of the employee and the company's overall objectives can be achieved. We encourage you to continue sharing your thoughts and suggestions so that we can better understand and address the concerns of our team members. We can be reached at people@whoop.com.

Pros

The CEO appears to have a clear and compelling long term vision. The product has strong brand loyalty and a passionate user base.

Cons

Internal politics and misaligned priorities can slow progress and decision making. Some decisions do not appear to be grounded purely in what is best for the user or product. Development cycles can feel long, sometimes taking 2 to 3 years for meaningful product evolution. Several larger departments appear to lack a well balanced mix of experienced, merit driven, and deeply knowledgeable contributors, which can lead to disconnects between teams and ultimately show up in the product. Egos and internal agendas at times overshadow collaboration and product focused thinking.
