The Hilti integration was the beginning of the end. Decision-making was ripped away from the people closest to the work and consolidated at the top, burying employees under layers of micromanagement and top-down oversight that made it nearly impossible to get anything meaningful done. When former leadership departed in 2025, whatever was left of the original culture collapsed entirely. Career progression became a bureaucratic obstacle course — strong performance reviews (now all written by copilot and not accurate half the time) now mean nothing; you're forced to formally interview for your own promotion, a demoralizing process that signals exactly how little tenure and results are valued.
Work-life balance is essentially a fiction here. PTO technically exists, but actually taking it carries an unspoken stigma that leadership has done nothing to address. The favoritism around flexibility is blatant and deeply corrosive — managers openly apply different standards depending on whether an employee has children, creating a two-tiered workplace where your schedule, workload, and expectations are determined not by your role or performance, but by your personal life. Employees without children are quietly expected to pick up the slack, cover more, and ask for less, with no acknowledgment and no compensation. It breeds resentment, erodes trust, and makes it abundantly clear that the company views certain employees as more valuable than others based on factors that have nothing to do with their work.
Engineering has been hollowed out. The innovative, fast-moving culture that drew talented people in has been replaced by suffocating enterprise bureaucracy. Teams are shackled to outdated legacy tools and processes that actively impede productivity, and any attempt to adopt modern technology gets mired in approvals that go nowhere. Hiring flatlined after 2023 — there is no growth, no investment in the team, only backfill roles that barely maintain the status quo. It's a slow bleed.
The recruiting pitch is a lie. They will sell you on startup energy, ownership, and impact. None of it exists anymore. This is a large corporation with all the dysfunction that entails — slow decisions, endless approval chains, and a culture that punishes initiative. If you want to build something, move fast, and actually matter, run. There are vastly better options, and you will regret the time you spend here realizing that.
