WHOOP reviews

Oof, where to start? They are making a lot of posts on LinkedIn about how difficult it is to get hired at WHOOP. Sure, but they index on high egos. Internally they say "High Intensity, High Humility", but there's no humility. It's frat boy central, and they're obsessed with being in the office. Well, the highest of higher ups are, because of course they can afford to be within walking distance of the office. The peons who don't get bonuses (under VP-level) can barely afford to be off a subway line. The management team loves to kiss their own behinds. There's nothing wrong with being confident, but they are truly toxic. I won't name names, but if you've ever worked at WHOOP and aren't a Kool Aid drinker, you'll know who I mean. It's very disingenuine. You have to look a certain way, act a certain way, and act like you're on an upper all the time in order to fit in. There's also a "rules for thee and not for me" mentality of upper leadership. So many great people have left because of this. There are some great leaders at the company, but unfortunately they get overshadowed.

Game of Thrones is an accurate description of how senior leaders handle issues from the top down. The culture points the finger to blame rather than establishing accountability and an operational mature mindset of improvement with fairness for all employees. One of the most glaring issues I observed over the past two years is the rampant layoffs and restructurings, which seem to occur with alarming frequency for a "growth company." I advise all potential job seekers to avoid this place, this is not a best place to work in Boston or elsewhere. Low-pay for expectations of work hours, no bonus, no 401(k) match, pressure on creating personal balance, repercussions if you are family planning, and Bro management at the top. Avoid career regret.
