Total seclusion from coworkers. Everyone is in their offices by themselves, almost no collaborative interaction at all. You just sit in your box and do the work your manager gives you. I've gone weeks before with nothing to work on, even after begging my manager for something to work on. Some people may see that as a plus, but I really don't. Organization is minimal at best and procedures change from one project to the next. Office chairs are old, uncomfortable, and falling apart. Code is all clunky, proprietary, and home-grown, no transferable skills at all. No documentation exists for any of it either, everything is hive-mind and known by management so they feel no need to write any kind of documentation for the code or the engine it's running on. There's not even a solid ORG chart, work can come from anyone in management, some of whom are incredibly hard to work with.
