Brainwashing through propaganda posters and stickers all over the place as well as frequent all hands. 7. Hypocrisy of managers, artificially boosting ratings (e.g. pilot teams for Agile transformation were already transformed but chosen specifically to look good on paper). 8. Some managers care more about showing off in front of their bosses rather than company interest. 9. The process for setting yearly goals by an employee is completely detached from reality. 10. Hermetic and slow in terms of taking up on the latest technology. 11. The work becomes boring and not challenging anymore after a while.
