There's not much the new engineering team can contribute. The old engineering team has years of insight and expertise actually generating profit with old but reliable technology. The vast majority of the new engineers / leadership come from the same outside company and their whole expertise is Kubernetes + AWS.
Yes, great tools, but they have shown they're not good problem solvers. Case in point, they decoupled the CMS and made it headless and the new headless frontend is an archaic management nightmare. They have to manually import pages every time there's a change via excel sheet, and it takes up to an hour to reflect new changes published from the CMS. Nobody who's been here for a while is happy because the new system absolutely sucks, and they're trying to pretend this is fine.
