      Advocate for yourself - Specliast Whisker Employee Review

      Pros

      Room for growth because of how fast the company is going! Great employees to bond with (possibly trauma bond). I feel like being in office hybrid or full time, helps you create friendships more so than work collaborating. There are really good moments which make you proud to be at Whisker, like hearing how fast the company is growing and having the opportunity to wear multiple hats (if you like that)

      Cons

      Leadership doesn't lead by example, purposely not clear on expectations so they can use it against you later. Dangle promotions in front of you and favor people who are not team players. Leadership was really making it feel like you would only be noticed if you were in office 5 days a week when a lot of us were contracted hybrid. Kinda felt toxic, especially when a good amount of leaders/teams are still fully remote too. I wish I advocated for myself more, my manager always acted like they had my back but then when push came to shove....they really didn't. Just felt like the target was always moving but then they would just paint it as positive/challenges for growth opportunities. Reflecting on my role, I do think I did WAY more than what was expected and what I was compensated for.

      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.
