Good software engineers

Cons

Middle management is not good. They constantly change and in the end, they don't know what their subordinates are doing, it appears that they don't care either.

New projects constantly are started and cancelled, wasting the team's effort and demoralizing the team spirit. There is huge turnover of engineers, I have never seen that in my whole professional life.

Advice to Management

You should carefully pick the project and finish it to the end.

Make sure you know what to do and what not to do. You need to stabilize the engineering team.
