I suspect your fears are well-placed. Whoever is hiring this team has no idea how to hire for those roles and that suggests that those roles might not be valued within the larger company. Though sometimes the hiring manager has just lucked out and hired a great team so far. Still, will that team be listened to? Will that team be respected?
