Most teams have been completely decimated due to poorly executed layoffs.

A significant amount of institutional knowledge has left and those roles are being replaced with junior engineers from overseas, and the knowledge transfer for these new roles is moving slower than anticipated.

There is a lack of accountability at a leadership level for decision-making.

CEO regularly tells people that "if we don't believe in the leadership team, that we should look for other jobs".

Travel/Professional Development dollars do not exist for individual contributors, and promotion paths for most, if not all, roles have been eliminated.
