Very few are left.

Work life balance is still almost ok, but recent changes are pushed massively against these values.

I've been at this company for several years to see it degrading from an awesome company to a place that I dread, spiralling down into a toxic environment where hate against your peers is not only unpunished but encouraged.

In the last weeks alone several amazing engineers with ton of experience and environmental knowledge left, and they literally said "anyone's free to leave". Well, yes, but that's not exactly what you want to hear from someone who cares about their teams.

About diversity: the leadership team is now only males, all belonging to the same culture. I'm wondering about the hiring process there, in fact I have strong doubts there was anything fair at all.

Give clear directions or quit. Since Paddy took over, he says the dumbest things ever like "we should work, and didn't stop even a minute to think about it". Other leaders came in recently and provide different signals. You want a lot of things done, but hiring stalls.
