- Big lack of experienced software engineers in company, cause most of experienced employees are going to western companies, so when it comes to non-trivial questions you gotta search for the answers around the company. So if you're an experienced person, that means the amount of work for you is huge, cause noone else will do this work, company goals are not getting lower; - Big lack of software engineers overall, so it does mean that often there's noone to read your pull request, discuss plans for changing certain system component or probable changes in architecture, because most likely noone knows it in detail or their amount of time is really limited. - Many features are implemented in a hurry to the end of the review period and forgotten afterwards; - Code is messy - there are no goals about making it good; - Bad documentation.
