What's the company culture like at WW (formally Weight Watchers)?
The people are great across the organization. They want to help make our members lives better. I will say that our culture is in the midst of changing. In product we have a leadership that's in flux and are great about talking about improvements and getting feedback on the team. A lot of the feedback hasn't been realized yet but in an effort to be transparent I do believe that our leadership team in Product is actively trying to create a stronger team. We have had a lot of change and growth with battling priorities, changing directions and competing department goals. I believe that a lot of this will be cleared up with the different work streams reporting into a single person, who sets the vision.
