WHOOP is an incredibly inspiring and rewarding place to work. While the mission and impact on humanity are both very tangible and impactful, what I find most compelling about WHOOP is the people – they are some of the most passionate, talented, and humble people I've ever worked with. Candidly, I could not imagine working somewhere else. I love the lofty and attainable mission, the drive for excellence and consumer value, and the gritty, collaborative, and fun-loving culture.
Cons
Things can change quickly, sometimes unexpectedly so. You have to stay light on your feet and remember that the only constant is change. (But if you're not ready for things to change... probably join a bigger, slower, and less innovative company)

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.
