Pros

company culture has changed after new CEO became. Many new people have been added without proper interviews. Now there is a lot of incompetent people. CPO destroyed functional engineering, ux, architecture and recuritment departmens... but leadrship is still totally ok with it

Cons

- lies and promises are daily bread - implicit trust became implicit distrust - management doesn't care about quality of product - date must just happen - management do not want to solve problems - people became just rows in the table
