There is very little to no coordination of strategy, and VPs simply do not understand modern software development practices. Additionally, the company no longer cares about its employees. The focus is on cost-cutting, moving jobs overseas, and treating people like cattle. Employees used to be valued and given the tools and resources to build their careers.
