A (sometimes) chaotic good

Pros

Real autonomy Real potential for impact Lightweight processes Strong sense of team and trust in peers

Cons

It can be everything all at one at times, but this is easily better than the overwrought planning processes and top down control you normally experience in other technology companies.

Pros

The culture at Whatnot is incredible! People are open and welcoming! The expectations are high, but the benefits reflect this as well! I personally feel validated in my work and get constant shout-outs. I have worked in other places where you get taken for granted very easily. Here people are thankful for the impact you have in your role. It is a start-up, so changes happen fast! It is a very diverse and inclusive workplace. Whatnot emphasizes a can-do-attitude and I would recommend being the kind of person, that wants to get stuff done.

Cons

As it is a start-up, things change quickly and you must be good at adapting! Sometimes, this can be overwhelming, but managers and people on all levels have shown understanding - as this affects the whole company.
