Pros

I had the opportunity to work with some amazing people. Most of the employees are truly amazing and talented. Free lunch and dinner. Flexible schedule and easy to work from home when needed.

Cons

The leadership lied and cheated its employees, laying off incredibly talented people and leaving many of them in the dust after years of commitment to the company. Company leaders exaggerate the truth and give false information to distract the employees and the world from what is really going on behind the curtains. There is little room for growth and development. Female employees be forewarned- it's difficult to advance and to be heard above the "men" No set goals for any department. Pay for most positions are under industry minimum.

Pros

- Amazing coworkers (I feel like I will be friends with these people for the rest of my life) - free lunch & dinner - no vacation policy (just let them know 2 weeks in advance) - product is actually making people's lives better (depression, anxiety, love life etc etc - ceo is hardest working person in the company and a really compassionate guy -lots of opportunities to grow if you put in the time I've worked at some pretty big name companies and startups, and I've never enjoyed doing my work as much as I did here at Whisper. The people and energy here are both positive and upbeat. I really liked working for my manager, which we all know is super important. Also, we were working towards big goals, so things always change, which is both invigorating and exciting. I like being able to make a difference with what I do. Startups are not for everyone-- there is a lot of ambiguity and changes in direction. Some people thrive in that environment while others can't handle it. If a challenging, dynamic environment sounds interesting, there is no smarter or more driven team than at Whisper.

Cons

Startups are not for people who cannot handle stress or ambiguity. Some people are just better off at big tech companies where they can work 9-5 and checkout when they walk out of the office.
