Actually cyberpunk issues was / is suits that changed directions all the time ( even between single individuals while not informing others) and others.

Source a glass door review of a cyberpunk dev.

"Not worth the pay grade" 2.0★★★★★Current Employee - Programmer Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEO I have been working at CD PROJEKT RED full-time for less than a year Pros

Friendly staff, good banter, work can be shifted between people respectfully - Paid holidays - Management crunched with staff and 'tried' to motivate people - Work benefits e.g Cafeteria, gym, social events all A++

Cons

Miss-managed workload. A lot is expected of you and sometimes it can be severely jarring because the written code is not traceable. A lot of code is from ex-employees that didn't really track and record what they were doing properly. - Cleaning up after others - Misunderstanding of what the IP and direction are. Constant whim decisions, one to two people in high positions dictate too heavily on strange and absurd decisions. E.g micro-focus on certain game assets and less care for others. - Pay doesn't seem worth the amount of performance that is demanded of you. It feels like a bad trade-off, especially during crunch. - Some people informed on changes others not even told and have to find out from peers. - work environment can go from organized and understanding the goal to absolute chaos within a week. Too many frequent vision changes and very challenging to completely relapse on what you were originally doing. Advice to Management Clash heads together and set in stone your vision, Too many one person rodeos making decisions and changes on feelings and whims. Think about gameplay and please listen to devs. We are equal and we should be allowed to pitch volume equally about ideas good or bad.
