Pros

The culture at Whatnot is incredible! People are open and welcoming! The expectations are high, but the benefits reflect this as well! I personally feel validated in my work and get constant shout-outs. I have worked in other places where you get taken for granted very easily. Here people are thankful for the impact you have in your role. It is a start-up, so changes happen fast! It is a very diverse and inclusive workplace. Whatnot emphasizes a can-do-attitude and I would recommend being the kind of person, that wants to get stuff done.

Cons

As it is a start-up, things change quickly and you must be good at adapting! Sometimes, this can be overwhelming, but managers and people on all levels have shown understanding - as this affects the whole company.

Pros

Whatnot has created a very positive work environment and culture. The company truly cares about it's employees and users on the platform. They have great pay and benefits, and are flexible with working hours, and make sure you're able to take care of any needs outside of work. Managers and fellow team members take the time to help one another grow and learn new systems and skills in order to be successful. Whatnot is great about promoting from within when new positions open.

Cons

Not necessarily a con, but it is a very high pace, high demand work environment, with high expectations of it's employees to execute at a high level. Definitely the most demanding and challenging work that I have done to date.
