Grounded, but exciting culture

Pros

The company stays true to their culture, while also focusing on progressing the business forward. They are cognizant of work/life balance and usually do a good job ensuring their employees get to work on projects that are fulfilling to them, but making sure not to over work them.

Cons

Things change a lot. It's a "con" in the sense that it can add stress, but it is also something that should be expected at a company of this stage. If you're someone who can do their job well when given varying circumstances, this "con" won't affect you much. Also, there is a lot of talent at Whatnot which can often cause imposter syndrome to set in or make you feel like you need to prove yourself.

Pros

Fantastic product which the people at the company care about and users love. Inspirational C-suite who care about employees and users. Extremely strong culture. Amazingly smart and lovely colleagues. A lot of fun. Fantastic benefits.

Cons

No cons which are unique to Whatnot. You'll work very hard and it is a fast moving environment. The bar is very high but those are also the things that make it special.
