Pros

Rapid Product Releases Under Pressure

Due to a "move fast" culture driven by upper management, the company releases features faster than competitors. This causes rushed timelines and a lack of QA oversight. Bugs and poor user experience cause long-term damage to the brand.

Cons

Lack of Clear Vision and Direction - Senior management constantly changes project priorities without consulting teams.
