      Serious concerns not addressed - Anonymous employee Whisker Employee Review

      Pros

      Team members are very enthusiastic about the company and pretty collaborative

      Cons

      Unfortunately, team members closest to the CEO are extremely protected regardless of their behavior and beliefs. Maybe it isn't shown toward leadership, but it's gone as far as bullying and making fun of homeless people on team members' social media. When these and much, much more serious concerns around team member behaviors were brought up with leadership and the head of HR, nothing at all happened. They clearly have blindspots that they weren't willing to address or don't care to address, and this was barely scratching the surface

      Pros

      The product and the product problems the company is trying to solve/fix are genuinely interesting, and the peer-level engineering team is full of fantastic, talented people. Pets in the office is also a nice perk.

      Cons

      Buzzword Innovation: The company wants to lean into software and the AI wave but has no idea what that actually means. Engineering leadership has mistaken using AI chatbots for actual technical innovation and thinks that constitutes building "AI-first products." Detached & Toxic Leadership: Direct management doesn't understand what their technical teams actually do. Leadership & software architecture is also highly toxic, frequently talking down to engineers and dismissing their work. Bloated Management Ratio: Following massive layoffs at the beginning of this year and the frequent high turnover, the engineering team has been reduced to a skeleton crew. Instead of backfilling individual contributors, the company feels it's better off hiring executives, leaving a completely bloated manager-to-IC ratio. Carrot-Dangling & Retaliation: Career growth and compensation are a game of constant carrot-dangling. Leadership claims they want feedback, but honest feedback is met with retaliation or issues being swept under the rug.
