Pros

- People first environment: They actually want you to use your unlimited PTO, benefits are great, regularly check-in on how they can change their pay and benefits to keep employees happy. Lots of opportunities to stay connected to people at the company (events, virtual activities, option to come into office.) - Remote: And it's actually remote. They hire near their hubs, but very comfortable remote environment. - Relevant interviews questions: While interviewing, the questions were actually focused on the job that I would be doing, and not boiler plate questions. They aren't pushing to have a specific structure to your answers like the big FAANG companies. It was really positive. - They want you to actually use the product: give employees $$$ to use on the app so they can stay close to the user experience. -Transparency: Weekly meetings with the founder on how the business is doing that all FTE's attend. Founders actually come in to the office so you can talk to them.

Cons

I personally don't think it's a con, but things change quickly and move fast, just like any start-up. I wouldn't recommend Whatnot for people who want to work in an environment with a lot of structure, and do the same job every day. It gets busy, but the company culture, great people, and benefits make it worth it on the busy days.

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.
