Salary is well below industry norms, Culture of blame between teams, Very hard to change roles / teams, The Performance Appraisal process is broken! Productivity & Job satisfaction is low, A lot of staff just 'hanging in there for the redundancy package' Endless meetings with no discernable outcome, POs don't know what the customers actually want, Feature Full - Quality Poor, Technology Day - Waste of Time & Resources, Can be hit and miss what team you end up in there - there are some real nice people in there and there are some real A holes.
