Inadequate pipeline and infrastructure. Low memory workstations make working on complex shots unnecessarily difficult. The majority of your time as an artist/TD is spent troubleshooting random errors or inacting workarounds to solve issues caused by the poorly implemented and ill-conceived fx pipeline and tools or by limitations of the general infrastructure (latency/bandwidth, disk space etc.). Suggestions from TD's to make improvements to tools and workflows are flatly ignored, even ones which are very minor and quick/simple to implement - these are brushed aside with the generic response from management- essentially 'we know the pipeline sucks but we plan to improve it some day'. This leads to a culture of people just sticking to 'tried and tested' workarounds, however inefficient they are. Also a lot of people have little previous industry experience, including ones in senior/lead positions, which generally causes more problems than it solves. These combined issues means the quality of the work suffers - don't expect many decent reel shots, as generally your work will be butchered downstream by inexperienced artists.
