Cool Product, Mediocre Leadership

Pros

- Really cool product. I will be a customer even after I leave the company - Cool perks - People are helpful and work hard

Cons

- Poor executive leadership, mostly at C-level. Many leaders don't seek feedback or check in with employees are doing - Trying to do too much at once. Rather than focus wholeheartedly on a few things, we try to do too many things at once and half bake them. Everything is always urgent and priorities are constantly changing. - Really unrealistic expectations at times regarding work life balance. Some orgs routinely work 70+ hour weeks and weekends/holidays. Most people are burnt out. - Being a visionary is important to continue the growth of the company, but execution is just as important at this point in the businesses lifecycle. It feels like that sometimes gets lost amongst leadership.

Thank you for the feedback. We recognize that our environment is very fast-paced and shifting priorities can be frustrating at times; and, this was a big driver in creating and sharing our 2022 KPIs. We are hopeful that clearly articulating and sharing these with the entire team, will allow everyone to truly focus and execute. As for work-life balance, we certainly do not expect anyone to work 70+ hours a week, and we’re concerned if this is a routine practice for you (or anyone else). If you feel comfortable doing so, we would encourage you to come to HR so we can work with you and your manager to realign expectations.

Pros

There honestly aren’t many. The only redeeming factor is equity. But even then with how leadership is running folks into the ground, I’m not even sure it’s a pro.

Cons

No one knows how to lead here. It starts at the very top. So many decisions are made in a vacuum then announced out to folks in a meeting that is scheduled last minute. To make things worse leadership never leaves any opportunity for feedback or Q&A. Sr leadership has serious trust issues. They want their hands involved in every single thing that happens. Some of the worst micromanaging I’ve ever experienced. They act like WHOOP is invincible, no decisions from sr leadership ever come back to them. It’s always the IC or middle management that is blamed. On top of all of that (& much more), HR is incompetent and will ignore or gaslight you if you go to them with any concerns.

Thank you for your feedback, although it is disappointing to hear that your experience at WHOOP was not a positive one. It’s especially discouraging to hear you felt micromanaged, ignored, and gaslighted, as we always want employees to feel empowered their opinions matter, and they are contributing toward our goals and mission. We genuinely appreciate your feedback and will utilize it as we continue to grow and improve as an organization
