Pros

Whatnot is a great place for those looking for a fast-paced role in a dynamic startup that is revolutionising e-commerce. The culture is extremely collaborative and one of the best elements of the company is that it caters to do-ers who are not afraid to 'roll up their sleeves', given that the company provides an immense amount of autonomy and independence to its employees.

Cons

Being a fast-paced startup, working at Whatnot is very demanding with long hours. Especially if taking on a role in launch or operations, there may be occassions where you work on weekends and late nights. However, the company is also very flexible with holiday and providing you the flexibility to take control of your schedule

Pros

Strong culture, leadership really encourages feedback and listens/acts. I feel very supported by my manager and loyal to the company and the mission

Cons

Whatnot is all-consuming sometimes, but none of the work feels like a waste of time like at other companies

Pros

Good healthcare and good benefits.

Cons

Increasingly corporate culture Benefits slowly being rolled back every year Must use PTO for any holidays you want off as Ops agent/specialist Utter lack of leadership. Revolving door of managers because they refuse to promote internally for years Repetitive, dull work Toxic work culture. Very petty people in management who don’t accept anything but yes men Virtually no training established and hardly any SOPs written. What little there are of both are very poorly executed (aka people brand new to the work doing the training) No upward mobility whatsoever Arbitrary pay scales and performance reviews not necessarily aligned with performance or tenure. Disclaimer: experience entirely dependent on what team you’re on. Avoid T&R like the plague.
