Software Engineer • Current Employee
Montreal, Canada
September 27, 2026
Pros: There is a decent work-life balance and compensation.
Cons: Top down, lack of autonomy
2.0
Micro-management and no transparency (might be only in my team)
Software Engineer • Former Employee
London, United Kingdom
August 17, 2023
Pros: Friendly colleagues, decent office, free lunch
Cons: - During my probation period, the 2-level-up manager kept influencing product definition, system design, timeline estimation, and code implementation. An astonishing phrase from him: "I can do it within 2 hours".
- We had 4 backend engineers and 3 front-end engineers working on the same project. We were delayed for one month (the manager defined the deadline). Even though the 2-level-up manager said it was no one's fault, I got punished in the end without any conversation.
