Faire Work Experiences
- 4.0Overall, a satisfying work experienceSenior Frontend Engineer • Current EmployeeVancouver, British Columbia, CanadaJanuary 2, 2025Pros: - Talented engineers, designers, managers, and product owners - Robust platform teamCons: It can get busy sometimes. There's a constant push to grow and have a greater impact, which is positive, but also exhausting.
- 2.0High-pressure culture without high-pressure rewardsEngineer • Current EmployeeWaterloo, Ontario, CanadaNovember 2, 2025Pros: Get to work with cool tech, and there are some great people here.Cons: The comp team doesn’t understand Canada and market norms. It’s this constant pressure to raise the bar for average pay. I believe this is worse outside of engineering too. There’s no RRSP matching, even though the recruiter promised it was coming during my recruitment process. There are no bonuses. The company outsources lots of functions to save costs – doesn’t really scream “cares about local communities” to me. Hiring and promotions are slow due to zero headcount growth over the last three years.
- 5.0Real Impact, Complex CleanupSoftware Engineer(Internship) • Current EmployeeToronto, Ontario, CanadaSeptember 20, 2025Pros: Real impact & ownership (small teams, revenue-facing work). Strong data culture & modern stack (A/B tests, services, gRPC).Cons: Complex marketplace: Tech debt and edge cases; experiment cleanup. Coordination-heavy across teams; occasional on-call and reliability pressure.
