I am inadvertently part of a PE cleanup, being a PM hired by a guy PE brought in.
I am of the opinion if PE destroyed this company’s culture and strip/sell it off, it’s certainly deserves it and will be better for everyone involved.
This place worked for decades as a cost center. It never made money, routinely losing $10-$40 million a year. Multimillion dollar deals were negotiated and made with handshakes, biting is in the ass. The engineers spent their time making shit, over engineered products with no regards to the little customers we had. Our suite of products have no interoperability. Just last week i again repeated why to a couple of “top engineers” why having single sign on across
Our products makes a good customer experience.
PE is a tech boogeyman here on HN and Reddit. But now I wholeheartedly believe that’s Sometimes PE needs to come in and shut things down.
