Pros

Most people are pretty welcoming and friendl.

Cons

Over culture is a bit of a facade in that Whoop promotes a healthy work/life balance and doesn’t deliver on taking care or investing in some of their employees. No bonuses, most normal employees are not being paid market rate for their roles. Engineers, upper management, HR and product are always prioritized for raises and promotions, and sometimes is spurred by favoritism amongst upper management. HR needs a much more experienced leader running the department as well as the technology department. Recommendations to HR/ops are always met with a counter argument in what “you” could be doing better to adapt or improve upon yourself, never any humility on the part of leadership team. It’s very much a “boys club” culture with the LT.

Pros

The CEO appears to have a clear and compelling long term vision. The product has strong brand loyalty and a passionate user base.

Cons

Internal politics and misaligned priorities can slow progress and decision making. Some decisions do not appear to be grounded purely in what is best for the user or product. Development cycles can feel long, sometimes taking 2 to 3 years for meaningful product evolution. Several larger departments appear to lack a well balanced mix of experienced, merit driven, and deeply knowledgeable contributors, which can lead to disconnects between teams and ultimately show up in the product. Egos and internal agendas at times overshadow collaboration and product focused thinking.
