Chaos, micromanagement, irrational management decisions
Unrealistic deadlines, which are never met
Mandatory fixed office days (3) with frequent reminders without increasing efficiency
Massive attrition
Uneven workload
Long meetings without decisions, lot of time wasted on unnecessary/unused features
Overcomplicated architecture/internals for simple applications
Weak collaboration within team and between teams, poor alignment
Sometimes lack of basic soft or technical skills
Development driven by dominance, arrogance, and slowed down by passivity
Knowledge silos
Limited tech stack
Requirements and criticism after implementation
Very difficult to change the status quo
