- Lots of people who have been at the company for a long time entrench themselves in positions of power / authority and use their ego to act as a hindrance to meaningful progress or ideas in order to keep the status quo.
- Resistance to change, in one way or another, is a common theme.
- Focus on perks like an extravagant Xmas party, free food and a pool table versus promoting the opportunity for self-actualisation.
- Focus on promoting company culture and the need to contribute to it, above prioritising better understanding and execution of customers needs.
