Is this all happening within the same company? If so, then its a management/communication issue. Otherwise, either you need to think about what the common denominator is. Is it something you are not catching when interviewing at companies? Perhaps founders that don't know what they are doing, and hope that the PM will figure it out? Or a collection of engineers who aren't capable of delivering on requests. However, if there is a manager or team lead then this is the manager at fault for not catching the lack in resources or the risk of overshooting deadlines. Another thing that may be the cause: If this is all occurring in the same country, it could be a cultural issue. It may be that the work culture within the country isn't conducive to startup success. For example, if its a work culture that has a heavily top down management culture or hierarchical respect expectations, it could be that PM's who are generally supposed to report any risk to delayed timelines or push back due to lack of resources, do not feel at liberty to do so, which then causes mismanaged expectations between PM's and upper management. A Top down culture could also result in directives coming from the top without consultation with those down the chain as to whether there are any risks.
