Hopefully the first thing a new CEO and a new CTO (when hired) tackle is lack of communication between the two engineering teams and really make it into one team.
If that happens, there is maybe light at the end of the tunnel: by getting the two groups to talk in responsible, non-blaming way can put you on the path to a solution long term.
If that doesn't happen, or it's non-obvious to incoming leaders, then it's likely a slow death as depicted in the sibling comment.
