Like working with your parents - Anonymous employee M&T Bank Employee Review

I worked here as a software engineer and it was a waste of time. All of management are your traditional corporate suits and stuck in very old ways of doing things. The vast majority of management do not understand the complexities of technology in general. It felt like going to work with my tech illiterate parents. The stacks here are old rubbish and the codebases are hodge podges of band aid fixes since engineers leave here all the time so it's an ever revolving problem of dealing with someones abandoned mess. I've also participated in many interviews and the tactics to trick tech talent to come aboard are unethical and predatory. There is little to no innovation here, and I realized immediately I was tricked into joining this company. I despised my time spent with M&T entirely and will forever resent them for tricking me into thinking they could be a decent place for technologists. If you have talent don't be fooled into wasting it here. Trust your gut in the phony interviews because what is portrayed is too good to be true.
