      Poor management, lots of ego at the top

      Pros

      Interesting product, engineers here are generally great and amazing to work with.

      Cons

      Terrible C level management and extremely poor leadership. Constantly pushing others below them to make up for their incompetence. You'll always be rushed and forced to cut corners if you work here. A lot of micromanaging from c suite.

      Very Difficult Leadership & Management

      Pros

      Nice office space Good snacks and drinks

      Cons

      I've worked with plenty of leadership teams before and this team was by far the worst experience. It's very hard to voice your opinion and have it heard and recognized unless you're on the "inside" or in the "old boys club." This is not a culture that is motivating or empowering. There have been very quick hiring and firing in the past so there is an underlying tone of uneasiness in the culture. From the outside, the appearance of culture looked friendly and welcoming, but after being in it, I found it to be very different than the external appearance. It's quite draining! Finally, the communication is not transparent (like any startup) but this is more apparent. It's a small company and communication should not be something hard; however, it is! More times than not, the CEO or anyone else on the leadership team will make a decision without consulting anyone and totally derail the team in a different direction without any notice. This creates a lack of trust and incredible frustration on almost every project. (Heads up - the CEO makes rash decisions).

      Dear Reviewer, Thank you for providing this feedback, WHOOP values Glassdoor as an open feedback forum. As a fast growing startup, we strive to maintain open communication across all employees. We greatly value transparency, however we cannot have town hall meetings for all company decisions. We look towards managers from every department across the company to represent the perspective of their team in these situations. Our Friday team lunch also provides an open forum for all employees to ask management any questions, in advance anonymously via email, or on the spot. In regards to firing decisions, a departure may sometimes seem abrupt to co-workers but in most performance related cases, WHOOP provides confidential performance improvement plans for employees deemed under performing, prior to making the decision to part ways.
