I appreciate the perspective.

If you're telling me I worked there at literally the worst possible time frame, I'd believe it. I may have my experience skewed through the perspective of Nick's influence, but tbh many of my issues were unrelated to him or his sphere of influence.

The C level thing may not have been a "big" mystery, but it was to me, and as somebody who was running the dev of a flagship software product (UniFi) it set off alarm bells that nobody I talked to could explain who was handling the roles of those execs. I'm not exaggerating when I say I effectively got "I dunno" as a response when I inquired, and I dug.

It is good to know, though, that what I experienced wasn't chronic for the entire company's existence.

To clarify on the China thing, I wasn't trying to imply that anything nefarious was actually happening. Just that it warranted some scrutiny when a security focused product was being developed on the Chinese mainland and by a team of Chinese citizens that are subject to CCP laws. Given some of the things that have happened around that country's involvement in tech in recent years, I don't think such scrutiny is unwarranted, especially when the team has a track record of security "goofs".
