Leadership struggles with scalable delivery, resulting in chaotic releases and excessive 'keeping the lights on' activities. Cross-team dependencies create unpredictable timelines, while fundamental SaaS capabilities remain absent. Product management lacks either a cohesive vision or commitment to it. Constantly shifting priorities labeled as 'urgent' lead to confrontation when engineering raises concerns and creating lose-lose scenarios. Rather than ruthlessly prioritizing to deliver superior, focused solutions, product management attempts to match competitors feature-for-feature, sacrificing quality for breadth.

Over the past few years, the company has become increasingly difficult to work for. Two years without annual raises, bonuses and stock grants cut.
