Pros

Talented, driven colleagues who are passionate about what they do, management that cares for their folks, focused and effective leadership, minimal red tape/process, and great benefits.

Cons

The work-life balance used to be the biggest issue for me but things have improved lately. Keeping the quality of the product high while working in a fast-paced manner is sometimes challenging but the leadership has been providing good guidance on that.

Pros

Whatnot is a great place for those looking for a fast-paced role in a dynamic startup that is revolutionising e-commerce. The culture is extremely collaborative and one of the best elements of the company is that it caters to do-ers who are not afraid to 'roll up their sleeves', given that the company provides an immense amount of autonomy and independence to its employees.

Cons

Being a fast-paced startup, working at Whatnot is very demanding with long hours. Especially if taking on a role in launch or operations, there may be occassions where you work on weekends and late nights. However, the company is also very flexible with holiday and providing you the flexibility to take control of your schedule

Pros

- Passionate company and team, working with power users of app so feedback loop is strong, users tell us what they want to build on buyers/sellers (compared to big tech where feedback loop is harder) - great remote working policy with tech hubs in NY, SF, LA - optional to come in, offices are additional asset to utilize, on top of regular offsites and in-person working sessions

Cons

Not company for everyone, for folks looking to put in their hours but for faster career growth and (hopeful) bigger payout
