Ventajas
• Some of the legacy engineering teams were talented and mission-driven. • The product had potential, and early-stage collaboration across teams was productive. • Flexible work culture and decent technical exposure depending on your role.
Desventajas
• The post-acquisition phase brought instability. Strategic decisions were influenced by a new leadership group that didn’t understand the core business or culture. • Valuable engineers and contributors were let go, leading to major talent drain and demoralization across teams. • A short-term vision overrode long-term growth, with politics often taking precedence over performance. • Many of those who influenced these decisions are no longer with the company, but the damage they caused remains. • Morale, clarity of direction, and engineering ownership have all declined significantly.
