I don't think they would love to know, though. Its not like employees won't give them feedback (anonymous, if its a toxic environment). Exit surveys are another tool to learn why some of your most senior engineers are leaving. I would bet that they aren't doing this, or at least not in a serious way. From the article:
> Said another now-former Ubisoft worker who was disappointed by directives from the company's Paris HQ: "There's something about management and creative scraping by with the bare minimum that really turned me away."
I mean, if the industry standard metrics are not showing a deviation, it should tell them that those metrics aren't really reliable.
What it seems like as an outsider (and as someone who's hear similar things from leaders where I worked) is plain apathy and a lack of desire to work with the engineering organization; the latter seems like its being hollowed out.

Sorry maybe I worded it wrong, I am sure they would love to know, but that doesn't mean they would do better with that information. I just meant that like any other business, having as accurate information as possible is of course desirable.
