I rarely leave reviews, but I feel obligated to warn anyone considering joining this company, especially if you’re looking at the Dallas office. The biggest issue is the culture. Micromanagement is constant, and there is very little trust in employees. Instead of focusing on results, management closely monitors people and creates an environment where employees feel anxious rather than supported. Leadership in the Dallas office is toxic, unprofessional and incompetent . The office lead consistently treated some employees disrespectfully. Basic professional courtesy like greeting coworkers or creating a welcoming environment was often absent. At the same time, there appeared to be a completely different standard of behavior when senior management visited. This double standard was frustrating to watch. Favoritism was another major problem. Long-tenured employees seemed to be held to a different standard than everyone else. Rules that applied to the rest of the team often did not apply equally, which hurt morale. Multiple coworkers expressed frustration about this, and turnover in the Dallas office reflected those issues. The office itself also leaves a lot to be desired. For a company that insists on in-person work, the Dallas office is extremely small, lacks basic amenities like a proper kitchen or break area, and does not feel like a professional workspace. It feels more like a converted apartment than a modern engineering office. Communication from leadership is heavily top-down, with little interest in employee feedback. Instead of addressing concerns, management often appeared more interested in protecting certain individuals than improving the workplace. There are talented engineers and interesting technology here, but the work environment overshadows those positives. I was much happier after leaving, and looking back, I wish I had paid more attention to the warning signs before accepting the role.
