I was in a very similar situation around 2 years ago. I came into a lead data engineer role at a startup-going-scaleup. I saw technical horrors, mismanagement, lack of ownership at all levels and an overarching distasteful culture. I say get out now. I stayed for 2.5 years because it was my first job out of a FAANG almost in absolute fascination at watching the train wreck in slow mo, did my absolute best to tame the chaos but I think it actually start affectubg my health and well being. Also, eventually I lost favour with my manager, and then he started bullying me to cover his ass even after I left his direct reporting line.
