*) Due to chaos management routinely asks (expects) resources to work weekends.
*) There is very little communication and technology sharing between the teams, which results in each team running in their own direction with their own choice of technology.
*) Technical managers know absolutely nothing about the technology. Words like API and Tomcat are alien and simply do not exist in most managers vocabulary.
*) Review process is from the late 90's Microsoft days - in short, even in high performing team, someone has to get a bad review as not everyone can be 'best'.
*) There is a reorg every few months.
*) Manager turnover is amazing. In one year I saw 6 people come and go in a team of 50.
