Software Engineering Manager Reviews
What is it like working as a Software Engineering Manager?
August 2019
Good pay.
Software Engineering Manager in Raleigh:

Cons: Hard to get promoted
July 2019
An amazing place to work.
Software Engineering Manager in Montreal:
Pros: Work-life balance, agile values, casual environment, great learning opportunities and professional development
July 2019
It's a place where jobs are!
Software Engineering Manager in Los Angeles:
Pros: L.A. is a place where jobs are, and there are a lot of companies where you can work here.
Cons: Everything is really spread out in random places, and driving anywhere pretty much always takes about 85 minutes minimum unless you are really lucky or moved specifically to be close to a certain job.
July 2019
Energy, relaxation and out-of-office activities on hand.
Software Engineering Manager in Taguig City:
Pros: The work area is not yet congested compared to other districts
Cons: Commuting is still a challenge but getting better.
June 2019
Don't do it.
Software Engineering Manager in San Antonio:
Pros: There is a decent amount of autonomy. Management doesn't know what most of us do so they can't really tell us what to do.
Cons: There is no transparency in this job. Leadership will either lie by omission or just flat out lie to try and convince you things are better than they are.
May 2019
Underpaid and Overworked.
Software Engineering Manager in Kansas City:
Pros: Managing the engineers who care about writing quality code.
Cons: Upper management is a tight group that doesn't let people in.
April 2019
It's amazing.
Software Engineering Manager in Gothenburg:
Pros: I get to work with very talented people, everyone is trying to better themselves every day which created a very encouraging and motivating atmosphere for learning and growing.
Cons: We are very often working in urgency and not having time to do things right and go for a temporary solution, which is the best solution given circumstances though.
