Pros

Amazing product to work on that improves the lives of members. Energy and enthusiasm amongst employees

Cons

Company culture has taken a major dive. Focus became less on producing a viable product and changing the industry to hanging on for dear life and selling chintzy accessories. Rapid growth led to toxic hiring decisions made in haste, only to lay off ~20% of the company in the last year. Poor decisions from management regarding feature prioritization and launch of 4.0. WHOOP was once an amazing place to work. It is no longer.

Pros

The CEO appears to have a clear and compelling long term vision. The product has strong brand loyalty and a passionate user base.

Cons

Internal politics and misaligned priorities can slow progress and decision making. Some decisions do not appear to be grounded purely in what is best for the user or product. Development cycles can feel long, sometimes taking 2 to 3 years for meaningful product evolution. Several larger departments appear to lack a well balanced mix of experienced, merit driven, and deeply knowledgeable contributors, which can lead to disconnects between teams and ultimately show up in the product. Egos and internal agendas at times overshadow collaboration and product focused thinking.
