Pros
The company still has strong products, talented people, and a solid foundation. Some teams continue to do meaningful work, and peers are generally supportive of one another during this transition. With the right leadership approach, the organization has the potential to recover and move forward positively.
Kontras
Since the recent CTO leadership change, the overall direction of the organization has felt very different, and unfortunately not in a positive way. Many long‑time employees have found the transition difficult and unsettling. There has been a noticeable shift toward bringing in third‑party vendors and external teams, while internal team members, some with years of experience and deep system knowledge have been gradually sidelined. In several cases, internal employees felt pressured to leave, which has negatively impacted morale and trust across teams. Layoffs and uncertainty have also added to the stress. Decisions often feel rushed and top‑down, with limited transparency or explanation to the teams most affected. Many employees feel their contributions and loyalty are no longer valued, and there is a growing sense of insecurity about job stability. Communication could be significantly improved. Feedback from internal teams does not always seem to be taken into account, and there is a lack of empathy during what is already a challenging period for many employees.
