Pros

There are a ton of great people who work there and work extremely hard.

Cons

Almost everything else is a con. Managers have no idea how to lead. Your are either gaslit for giving your opinion or blamed for not doing your job if you try and give upward feedback. They have no problem trying to push you out either. There is crazy favoritism of different teams and it is so obvious that one team is treated way better than all the others. Top leadership has no idea how to run the company and that all rolls down to the employees under them. Part of the mission at WHOOP is high humility and that is such a joke. There is no humility within c-suite leadership. Most have huge egos and think their ideas are the best and have to be done. It is very much what Will says goes, even if that negatively affects people and teams. This is extremely toxic and again trickles down to where so many employees are super entitled. You are set up to fail and then blamed for not doing your job well even though you had no guidance and support. I would not be surprised if a mass exodus happens.

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.
