- Toxic workplace culture (e.g. asking employees to work overtime and during weekends to meet deadlines).
- No time or resources dedicated to improving key issues with databases, architecture, or overall SDLC.
- Dysfunctional processes that lead to loss of business clients and high employee churn.
- Only practices agile when convenient to middle management.
- Managers don't communicate well and aren't encouraged to prioritize their team needs (no one-on-ones, no feedback, limited career growth opportunities).
- Team members are constantly putting out fires without considering how to prevent them from happening again.
- Limited plans for healthcare, 401k, etc.
