Work life at Candidly - Software Engineer Candidly Employee Review

This is honestly an awesome workspace to be part of. The leadership team is exceptionally well-trained and really knows how to guide the company forward. I'll be honest - the project management side could use some improvement, but that doesn't take away from what makes this place special. What really stands out is how incredible this environment is for growth and learning. You're literally learning from some of the best people in the industry, and that's not something you find everywhere. The atmosphere is genuinely friendly and welcoming, which makes the work something you actually look forward to. One thing that really surprised me is how accessible the company owner is. There's direct contact and communication, which creates this sense of transparency that's pretty rare in most organisations. But honestly, what makes the biggest difference here are the people themselves. Everyone is truly open to your ideas - not just politely listening, but actually engaging and discussing them seriously. They're patient when it comes to teaching or explaining concepts, never making you feel like you're asking too many questions. The collaborative spirit here is something else. It's an incredible place to work, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a company where they can genuinely grow while being surrounded by amazing people who care about your development.

I rather not say any disadvantages.

This was a very hands on experience, where what I did day-to-day varied consistently and I had complete ownership of a few projects. Definitely thrown in the deep end with certain things, but had lots of support from my team and superiors especially which was very reassuring. Really appreciate how collaborative the culture was where learning was always encouraged.

I think having the option to be in person would be beneficial. While I appreciate the flexibilities that come with being fully remote but think there are certain things I missed out on by not having some in person interactions.
