“I could not be happier or more proud of my teams and what they have accomplished.”

If the company wasn’t successful, then that’s partially on engineering. As employees, we win as a team and lose as a team.

It seems like they were way overbuilt and should have gone much slower from a hiring perspective.

Perhaps these are just words that folks say to put best light on things as they leave, but it strikes me as disingenuous and lacks that ownership mentality that engineering leadership should display.
