Pros

Using some latest technologies, a fast-growing company, but not a startup anymore.

Cons

Building brittle systems under the pretext of moving fast. A lot of senior management has never worked on or built systems at this scale before.

Advice to Management

Need more information sharing about strategy.

Take advice from competent senior people who have recently joined, and don't just limit yourself to the core circle.

Value engineers more and show trust in them. A lot of engineers are inexperienced and not independent; a lack of trust in engineers makes things worse.
