Toxic culture after change in leadership - Software Engineer Drut Employee Review

As CEO and President of Drut Technologies, I take full responsibility for the negative reviews published after the summer of 2025. It is true that we implemented leadership and team changes in the spring of 2025, and I recognize that such transitions are never easy. Change often creates discomfort, and that is something I acknowledge and accept. Change is also a forge that hardens the organization. I also believe that as professionals, we have a responsibility to engage openly and address challenges directly rather than through anonymous criticism. Drut Technologies is not a toxic environment. My door has always been open, and I continue to welcome constructive dialogue from every employee. At the same time, we hold ourselves—and our teams—to clear expectations: software engineers write code, product development teams document work, manage programs, and validate customer experience, and all employees are expected to operate transparently with their colleagues. We also accept that not everyone wishes to participate in this culture of accountability and contribution. To those who have chosen new paths, I sincerely wish you success in your next endeavors. For anyone who wishes to have a direct and meaningful conversation about their experience, you know how to reach me. I genuinely look forward to those discussions, because they help me—and our company—continue to learn and improve.

We are a small global team playing in a huge market and the product we are building is complex and unique. It is not for the faint of heart who are look for an easy work-life balance with more emphasis on life.

Lot of open source technologies to explore, lot of opportunities to learn especially in data center related operations. Good work culture and career growth. Good Tech stack. Onsite opportunities - open for all.

Many employees who were under-performing, sided with previous management (in offshore and onshore) fired by Investors, did mass resignations and chose to leave the company even after the new management assured them no impact which caused temporary dent in the Company. Earlier management was incapable, indecisive, making false commitments to employees and clients, lot of partiality to a set of people, long running and pathetic status calls. Some of the employees decided to stay back, but some of them were still under the influence of old management wanted to stay in the company without any contributions and ultimately had to be terminated. However, with all the incapable people leaving, only Core Tech team left behind, no politics and no partiality, especially the new top management is very transparent,I see it as a positive sign. With new management, the calls are streamlined and focused, opening new opportunities to employees, information is freely accessible to everyone.
