I’ve worked for one at Cruise who got “parachuted” like you put it and he was generally well respected as he definitely cleaned up the house there as the company scaled massively - I’d consider working for him again. That is to say it works for some companies but probably not everyone and ymmv depending on who you parachute.

I guess it depends on whether the company owners want to parachute someone in who has outside expertise/experience and can help out, or just someone who's a fall guy.

Was he from Amazon or from Zoox?

Slight difference in expectations depending

That was before zoox was even acquired
