* Lots of people manage by talking rather than by doing
* There are more generals than soldiers (and most generals suffer from the point above)
* Technology landscape scattered and to a great extent obsolete
* The company spends a lot of money purchasing expensive technology, but systems don't talk to each other for lack of authority and competence
* Data-driven immaturity
* If you are an ambitious person, your ambitions will be killed by politics here
* Those that make connections, talk, and talk, and talk; and micromanage, will make a career here
