Pros

Whirlpool has a lot of money to spend on benefits like bonuses and cash prizes for internal contests. Appliance discounts are nice for homeowners. HR tries to be very friendly and inclusive, but it comes off as patronizing and childish. It also doesn't help company morale that they use firing (or 'disappearing') people regularly as a tactic.

Cons

Huge turnover, especially of smart and motivated people. Many of the old-timers are so entrenched they feel secure in their social position and will never leave. There is more focus on getting bonuses and perks than serving the customers. Complete lack of understanding of the user and their needs. A lot of money is burned on ridiculous marketing efforts to promote a product full of obvious holes. Lots of gimmicky efforts that don’t last long beyond their release. Lack of leadership, though CEO is very self-congratulatory and cringe. He takes the rating on GlassDoor as an ego exercise and asks employees for positive reviews at company meetings. Executives are like a high-school clique and you will do better if they like you (less chance of becoming a scapegoat). Product team is inexperienced and grasping at straws.
