Whatnot reviews

The company grows exponentially but without valuing their employees. Team over ego is one of the company's principles. However, it is clear that this is a one-way go in which great talents dedicate themselves extremely but are not valued or given opportunities for personal growth. The performance evaluation process is not fair and people management is not transparent. The scope of work, expectations and goals are not well defined and therefore the performance evaluation is subjective. There are many communication problems that are frequently reported, but there are no concrete and transparent initiatives by leaders to correct them. There are internal processes that are exhausting and stressful when it comes to cross functional teams, resulting in blockages and/or delays in the work of multiple teams, making the work environment unhealthy. The company is expanding globally, but internally they are and continue to be centered on the United States market, with the other markets being secondary and not a priority.

I had two different managers and only one was consistent in the motivation and help they provided. This is my personal experience and may not be true for everyone.
