A bunch of engineering directors were brought in from external sources a few years back, and that really changed the atmosphere.

Before then, we seemed to try to hire smart engineers and give them independence to solve problems. Those new directors lowered the hiring bars to grow their teams, and the culture got way more rigid and corporate.

That's too bad. Sounds fairly normal for companies around here, though.

Also, I guess I offended some ex or current employees since I've gotten the downvote brigade. :\
