How would you end up with good mgmt and bad eng? I suppose it could happen as a temporary situation when new mgmt takes over a failing organization.

If engineers are making the hiring decisions, as was the trend for a while, and they make bad hiring decisions. Or if the hiring department is bad. Or if managers are good at managing but bad at hiring. Lots of ways, hiring is hard.
