No investment in employee growth

Pros

Amazing benefits, culture is great, the business is thriving.

Cons

There is no investment in growing current employees. Internal advancement is basically non existent. They would prefer to hire externally than to truly promote internal mobility. They quietly lay off employees using the excuse "due to restructure" and then turn around and post new openings on the team on LinkedIn with very little difference in the job description but level up the position. Instead of investing in current employees growth to set you up to promote (level up) they just lay you off and hire someone new with no regard to the years of knowledge and dedication you have given the company. They do this quietly and most of the company doesn't even know it has happened.

Pros

After two years at Whatnot, I can confidently say it's the best place I've ever worked! The company offers incredible growth opportunities, a supportive and collaborative culture, and leadership that truly listens and cares about their people. From day one, I’ve felt valued and empowered to make an impact. If you're looking for a place where you can grow your career and be part of something exciting, Whatnot is it!

Cons

We have a high bar and we are overly passionate about the communities we serve! Not a con but good to note
