Pros

free snacks sometimes? a paycheck?

Cons

Senior leadership has ZERO respect for the entire sales organization. I've never felt more marginalized by the two clueless founders than I have in my entire life. The pay for sales in the Bay Area is insulting and embarrassing but the founders were so cheap that they still insisted on hiring a sales team in Arizona so they could pay them ever less and present them with sales goals that are impossible to meet. Any true seasoned sales professional realized within a month or two that they were completely lied to about their commission prospects. The founders lie and lie and lie to trick people to work at this company that is excruciatingly stiff, boring and completely devoid of any personality. The founders bet big in the beginning that AutoDesk would simply buy them out and they would enjoy a large payday. Instead AutoDesk purchased a much better company in Plangrid that does the exact same thing, doesn't have the technical debt, and has an order of magnitude more paying customers. The buy out prospects are nonexistent, an IPO is a pipe dream, and the founders are mean and bitter to their employees, especially is sales, after they have come to grips with the fact that the backward sloping hockey stick growth is just never going to come and they have wasted so many hours and years developing mediocre software that is not going to make anyone rich. Sad I've never seen more sales talent come in from the front and disappear out the back in my entire career. It seems one of the hot headed, reactionary, and clueless founders will fire anybody on the spot if they pronounce "croissant" incorrectly or they aren't huge fans of curry.

Pros

Diminishing remote opportunities Some smart ICs

Cons

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.
