@dinadanalcedines628 My experience is that all too often people without genuine understanding of the software development process (what one would call a genuine "software engineer") end up in charge. These "management types" are immune to concepts such as "measure twice, cut once", "spending three weeks setting-up proper, reliable, CI/CD pipelines and processes will save time going forwards" and "unit testing development faster in the long-term as it makes debugging easier". (There will ALWAYS be bugs...)

AKA "Requirements Churn". When you know what you're implementing, it's generally straightforward, but when you have to guess or continually change direction...

@Bradstephens11 I don't know if it's got any better, but the initial "major release every 3 months" is an indication of weaknesses in their SE processes - the principal of "always have working code" isn't just a nice-to-have, it's essential to delivering efficiently. It's far quicker and easier to debug something the day after you wrote it than 6 months later...
