A common issue of having a majority of "feature oriented" engineers on your team is that they block any effort to improve the existing codebase, so while you're cranking features out, the code slowly rots and technical debt creeps in.

The counterpart of this is having a majority of "perfection oriented" engineers, in which you have top notch processes and code, but with endless yak shaving and little product work being done :)
