      Pros

      I've been at Whatnot for a little over a year and its the most challenging yet also the most rewarding job I've ever had. I love that in my role I am seen as a trusted partner and I am able to take on projects that have an immediate impact on the business.

      Cons

      Like any other startup, things move very fast here. Not always a lot of structure/process and sometimes the days can feel and be pretty long. However, I will say the people + culture + benefits/compensation make it totally worth it.

      Pros

      * A solid set of very smart, very motivated people. * A focus on getting things done while maintaining a life outside of work. * The users love the product which is motivating. * Tons of opportunity to learn new tech and grow/have a real impact. * Top level leadership has been very approach, genuine, and relatable.

      Cons

      Joining a new company can always feel like a roll of the dice. So far there hasn't been any landmines I've ran into. Whatnot moves fast but the work is fun and the people are motivated. This is my first startup so I imagine it can be much worse at other companies who are still running to find their place in the market. The onboarding process was honestly the best I've experienced in the industry and overall docs/code quality/CI process is really good. I kinda assumed a startup would always be really rough because it's hyper focused on growth but Whatnot seems to understand that quality is important to keeping users happy and still move fast. It still is a startup. So if you really don't like ambiguity or creating something entirely new, this probably isn't the best place for you. But that's probably the case with every startup.
