Pros
Reflecting on my 21-year professional journey, I am immensely grateful for the 11 transformative years I've spent at Whirlpool Corporation. Starting my career in Brazil as an intern for one year and evolving into an Engineering role, I've made a significant leap from my previous managerial position. This decision, embodying courage and growth, stands as the most fulfilling career choice I've ever made. My experience, spanning six years in Brazil and five in the US, has been defined by the incredible people at Whirlpool. Their passion and dedication make it more than just a workplace; it's a community where everyone's contributions are valued and celebrated. Whirlpool's culture of flexibility and support has been a constant source of motivation. It's a place where work-life balance is understood and respected, allowing us to thrive both professionally and personally. The progressive work culture here encourages us to challenge the status quo, make informed decisions, and engage in open, transparent communication. This environment fosters innovation and personal growth, making every day a learning opportunity. The comprehensive benefits and the supportive team ensure we make the most of what's offered, reflecting Whirlpool's commitment to our overall well-being. Working across diverse cultures and teams, I've been consistently challenged to deliver my best. This dynamic environment pushes for continuous improvement and development, making every day at Whirlpool an opportunity to excel. Looking back, I wouldn't change a single decision. My career at Whirlpool has been a journey of opportunity, growth, and fulfillment. I am incredibly proud to be part of this exceptional organization, which exemplifies the essence of an ideal workplace.Cons
Throughout my 11 years with Whirlpool Corporation, I've been fortunate to have a consistently positive experience that has deeply satisfied both my professional and personal growth needs. In all honesty, I struggle to pinpoint specific 'cons' as my journey has been filled with supportive colleagues, dynamic challenges, and a nurturing work environment. However, I acknowledge that everyone's experience is unique, and what has been an ideal fit for me may vary for others. I encourage potential Whirlpool employees to engage openly about their expectations and needs to ensure the best possible match with the company's culture and opportunities.Driving Equity Where Everyone Can Thrive

Improving life at home, sustainably.
Fulfilling our vision to be the world’s leading kitchen and laundry appliance company, in constant pursuit of improving life at home requires us to think of our house and home not just in terms of the four walls around us and the communities in which we live, but of the planet that sustains us.
See the ESG Commitments section on our company website for more updates.
For 110 years, life at home has always been at the heart of our business.
We’ve always been a company of innovators, from Benton Harbor, Michigan’s Lou Upton and his uncle Emory teaming up to patent an electric-driven wringer washer, to Miguel Etchenique and sons, who created the Brastemp brand and gained such a strong reputation for premium performance that Brastemp is now synonymous for high quality in Brazil.
We’re inspired by Louis Jenn, who rejected the status quo to create the first downdraft range and Vittorio Merloni who founded the premier European appliance brand, Indesit. It is through the energy of their entrepreneurial spirit that we have become the world’s leading kitchen and laundry appliance company. We’re proud of our extraordinary roots and build on that each day to innovate products that consumers want and need.
See the History and Heritage section on our company website to hear the stories from our very own senior leaders.
Our legacy proves we are driven by intellectual curiosity and innovation.
With 110 years of industry-firsts and game-changing products, we’ve never scaled back on our investments in innovation and product development. The ability to see beyond the current needs and behaviors of our consumers to create solutions that address how to improve their lives at home, permeates our culture. World Class Manufacturing, IoT, environmental and social responsibility, leading-edge design, craftsmanship, and digital technologies drive innovation at Whirlpool Corporation.
It’s in our DNA to create industry-leading, reliable products that people can count on day in and day out,
with innovations based on what families and households really want and need—rather than innovating for innovation’s sake.
