> At least we all got better CVs as part of it.

I am on a team that basically just imploded after a year of chaos. I mostly got promised a better CV for work we never got to do (and never will at this point).

I would like to hear some chaos stories.

Here is the most recent one:

They fired all the product managers. All of them. At once. We call them Venture Leads, but they were effectively product managers. On Monday I am finalizing a feature for one of them and on Tuesday I have nobody to show it to. I don't even remember if I ended up pushing it.

They apparently intend to resume work on all the projects, but at a later date when they hire new product managers/venture leads.

This was not their first time firing product managers either. They fired the one for the first project I worked on.

Why did I join this company? A year ago they had 5 stars and were highly recommended, including by the person who referred me to the company. Who was one of the product managers.

A common story was ever shifting deadlines. We use internal budgeting for projects, which is fair enough. But nobody could ever seen to figure out how things were priced internally, which lead to deadlines either falling from the sky for two days later or those deadlines being completely irrelevant, after you have already hacked something together to meet the deadline.

And it was all based on difficulty understanding how the internal billing worked.

You are not alone, it's not easy thing.
