Because of growth by acquisition, there are not many consistent processes for everyone to follow. Process change isn't championed by leadership, so if anyone tries to improve a process it doesn't go over well. The company values speed, sometimes at the expense of quality. Leaders make decisions without consulting managers and other resources and then give directions based on these decisions only to find out that they should have directed the team to do something different. When they direct the team to do something different, they make it seem as if the team leader did something wrong in the first place. There is so much time and money wasted as this cycle is repeated over and over again (go do “A”, wait you should have done “Z” and why isn't "Z" done yet). Sometimes it seems like the leaders of the company lead by bullying instead of inspiring and collaborating with managers and other key resources; this is sad and causes the company to lose a lot of good people.
