Pros

Located in Venice Beach, nice perks if you are part of the upper management, interesting work

Cons

Communication and support among departments needs improvement. Newbies in the area of hiring the right personnel, guess they would rather spend money on expensive office space.

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 & show results (a former intern now oversees a team of 30)

Cons

-in high growth phase they have hired people who are below the bar technically and have to spend unnecessary time bringing people up to speed - expected to work a lot without tons of oversight

Pros

-Whisper has handled transitioning through multiple stages of growth quite well -Small(ish) product and engineering teams = lots of responsibility and a fantastic educational process -Insanely smart coworkers -Reasonable work/life balance

Cons

-The substantial increase in headcount has unfortunately led to hiring some who lack passion for the product, but that was bound to happen as we grew from a scrappy team working out of a house to a tech powerhouse.
