Recognition, talent, Slack, Zoom, and mostly useless PMs. There was not much in terms of very senior people in engineering to learn from. Was in Slack and on Zoom all the time.
Get better technical leadership outside of just the VP Eng. You need a technical CTO, or at least one that uses his tech skills to help shape the product and not just sell. Stop focussing on acquisitions and start focussing on making the product you have great for your customers.
