Underpaid, overworked, and scheduled to stand still - werkgeversreview Software Engineer bij Cambium Learning Group

This review reflects my experience. Compensation felt below market while expectations were sky-high. The workweek was dominated by meetings, including a weekly planning session that routinely ran around four hours. Those marathon “planning” calls didn’t translate to progress—they just siphoned the time needed to get things done. Day-to-day, I dealt with close, nitpicky oversight that discouraged initiative and slowed decision-making. The result was a culture of over-planning and under-delivering: lots of talk, very little execution, and not enough trust in the people hired to do the work. If you value focused time, fair pay, and reasonable autonomy, this environment will be frustrating.
