Cons
Ego driven leadership which is spreading further downstream. People doing jobs they have no clue how to do leading to complete lack of awareness to the chaos it is causing. Completely ridiculous and unachievable deadlines set by a CEO who now is also the CPO. Really not a great feeling going to work every day to break your neck to try and meet said deadline only knowing you will fail. And when we did fail our friends and colleagues lost their jobs as a result. The way in which that message was conveyed to those affected and those left behind was just cold. The level of communication in the aftermath was just non existent. People expected to just pick up the pieces, when asked who would now do the jobs of those who left we got told to figure it out. Labelling your engineers as lazy and that they should carry out their own testing is nothing short of naive. Even with a testing function we released a product that was heavily full of bugs knowing this fact because meeting the deadline became more important than the standard of what we produce. Zego before Ego is a slap in the face as a value when the very people setting these values can't uphold them.
