Lol, their problem isn't their employees, it's their leadership and management. They've been stagnant for a decade.
At one company, the CEO was saying, “my vision is X”, while the middle managers were implementing a whole different alphabet, but the middle managers were reporting up that engineering is the problem. It took numerous leadership shakeups to even acknowledge the issues, but by that time the company was effectively dead.
The few times, in my experience, that competent top management has been directly involved in development has been very different. That’s when all the bullshit from middle managers evaporated completely.
