I have found the culture to be very toxic and unproductive. The culture promotes adherence to processes and thinking outside of these boundaries is quickly eliminated. Additionally, alternative thinking is hindered by the heirarchical organization and fear of reprimand. This results in major bottlenecks and extreme effort just to fit something into existing processes. All decisions are funneled to senior engineer or manager, creating bottlenecks and additional time from (1) low amount of involvement/awareness of any individual project and (2) having to redo work because it was done differently than they would have done it. Many of the employees exude insecurity, resulting in them being negative and passive agressive. There is a strong culture of shaming people into behaving the same way as everyone else. Additionally, many delays and unneccessary work result from people trying to prove how they are smarter than everyone or can take on so much work.

Hybrid work is no longer hybrid. The definition was changed and its now RTO for everybody except remote workers. You review yourself bi-annually and bi-weekly. Metrics are about cost and schedule performance regardless of roadblocks and setbacks. You do your own training online. You do your own IT online. You do your own HR online. Too many mtgs. Confusion and chaos reigns. Managers are hit and miss and suffer from the same issues as their employees with no solutions. Asking for help gets you more assignments. Too much work, not enough people. No one is applying for open positions. Hard to advance, too many hoops to jump through. Company used to be a great place before it went through three buyers and mergers and was swallowed up by a big fish. You're just another brick in the wall now.
