Non-inclusive environment, burnout culture, teams not empowered - Product Manager WHOOP Employee Review

Toxic boys club. Seriously if you’re not a white male, you will struggle here. Decisions are made behind closed doors while strategy is top down, but lower levels are blamed for any missteps. Leadership is able to flip flop on huge decisions but everyone else is held accountable, told to forego due diligence and research, and forced to carry out strategy that prioritizes financial gain over what’s best for members. Leadership and manager positions are overly represented by white men. There’s a lack of feedback culture and the majority of voices are constantly squashed. The gate-keeping means a select few consistently take credit for others’ work and get rewarded. Don’t expect to be paid equitably across levels, genders, start dates. HR manipulates and tone polices instead of listening, using intimidation tactics to retaliate and keep people quiet. Teams across product, software engineering, and design are consistently pushed to work late nights and weekends. For a company whose mission focuses on recovery, they offer 5 counted sick days with restrictions. Leadership has been tone deaf to the pandemic and at times cruel in their communication. In the middle of the pandemic they revealed a new policy where people need to request work from home days and are only allotted 7 per year (again with heavy restrictions), further showing they do not care to be inclusive.
