* Micromanagement caused by excessive processes due to organizational growing pains
* "Agile" processes that are ironically extremely rigid and non-agile; "one-size-fits-all" processes enforced for all teams
* Lack of trust in developers/engineers; engineers are seen as outsiders to the core business goals
* Lack of influence on product or tech; developers are code mercenaries (this may not be intentional, but it is effectively how the business operates)
* Lack of financial incentives between employees and business goals
* Lack of IC career growth opportunity for developers/engineers
* Extreme aversion to working from home
* Mediocre compensation, no employer pension contribution
