Pros

Whatnot has created a very positive work environment and culture. The company truly cares about it's employees and users on the platform. They have great pay and benefits, and are flexible with working hours, and make sure you're able to take care of any needs outside of work. Managers and fellow team members take the time to help one another grow and learn new systems and skills in order to be successful. Whatnot is great about promoting from within when new positions open.

Cons

Not necessarily a con, but it is a very high pace, high demand work environment, with high expectations of it's employees to execute at a high level. Definitely the most demanding and challenging work that I have done to date.

Pros

Genuinely remote-first company - great if you you don't enjoy going to offices (but they are there if you do) Culturally similar to big tech brands due to vast majority being alums from there Product is fun and so is the work around it Perks are incredibly generous compared even to Meta/Google etc

Cons

Remote-first culture can sometimes be tricky for new grads / juniors - harder to socialize but there are company offsites and local offices to visit Smaller companies can be at times chaotic with fewer people per problem space
