This is, indeed the type of stuff most people run into if their career spans more than a couple years, touches large organizations, etc. That is why I thought it would be useful to share: it is the kind of thing that would’ve been really helpful for me in the first few years of my career to understand some of the dynamics, including what can go well, and what can go less well, and the kind of mistakes one might try to avoid, as well as what it means to stick with one’s convictions, even when that might be costly.

Whether it is “unprofessional“ or not is something I thought about quite a bit. I think I walked the line of being fairly politic and avoiding dragging real people’s names through the mud, while still getting into some of what that kind of real world engineering and associated politics is like. At the same time, I can see how someone would take the view that none of this kind of thing should be shared outside the company. Your mileage may vary. I hope at a minimum you can understand why someone might choose to air a little bit of it while trying not to be nasty about it.

Thank you for the clarification, it seems you put a lot of thought into this. Let's agree to disagree here. You may find this valuable information that's worth sharing, I do not - I think the risks outweigh the benefits.
