-Many times when "why" was asked, the response was, "That's just the way it is at AB".
-Little opportunity for remote work because that is not the culture they want to support.
-Culture peaches ownership which is good in theory but has created a workplace where departments and teams are hesitant to share or help each other. Often hear language of us vs. them when discussing internal teams.
-More talking than listening. Management often makes statements opposed to asking questions, if they approach interactions with collaboration instead we could focus on further maturity of initiatives.
-Managers are expected to be the experts over everything their reports are working on. Since this is not realistic managers resort to getting debriefs and foot notes from employees to use in hierarchical meetings.
-I was told I cannot communicate with my managers boss, that anything i needed should go through my direct manager.
-Low technology maturity - when using even internal systems there is a running joke that nothing is intuitive.
