Ask HN: How does your company handle late running projects?

Currently in a situation where our company is asking us to work weekends and extra hours because of a poorly managed project. There were too many meetings and processes during the early months of the project and now we are way behind, no longer have any of those time wasting meetings as we are now scrambling to deliver on time. It’s created a stressful environment where I am now at a point of looking for a new job. I really believe that companies should use better strategies then putting more pressure on developers in these situations.
