It's hard to understand how they will succeed
There are some immensely talented people among the staff.
You can learn a lot working there.
Organizational problems do not get solved by management. Work it out with your peers or give up.
Middle-management is like something between a revolving door and an abattoir.
I'm suspicious that the business model may not have margins necessary to support sufficient staff to run the business. You end up making do with minimal resources. That means fixing off-warranty equipment in the middle of the night with whatever parts you can find.

Onsite screening interview and then panel interview. I felt some interviewers were hostile. The interviewer walked out to let me struggle by myself on the whiteboard. Then came back and said I was stuck. So gave me a keyboard permutation problem
Performance Engineer
30 minute phone interview with hiring manager. Followed by an in person interview with 3 managers and potential co-worker. No feedback regarding job even after 1 week. I eventually realized no offer would be forthcoming.
