Yep, and on top of that the 737 MAX did not require retraining for pilots (cost savings for Boeing and airlines) and Boeing did not provide documentation to pilots that MCAS would re-engage after a short timeout.
Pilots use the term "ahead of the plane" to describe being in a state where they understand exactly how a plane and its systems will respond to inputs (including theirs). MCAS (and lack of training) resulted in pilots being "behind the plane", which meant they could not regain control over the plane and ultimately crashed.
