-The "Culture" which they are so proud of is essentially license for political games and an opportunity for the least informed person in the room to have a platform to derail meetings. -Lots of meetings with few results. -Coaches. Some are well meaning, some are not. Some are educated, some are not. Some know the business, some do not. Most of the politics happen at this level. For about half of them, it is very unclear that they do anything at all except attend meetings (irregularly and late) and receive CC'd emails. -Security checkpoints. Imagine going to the airport every day. Enough said. -VERY weak 401k match. -Most of the smartest people in the company are in the lowest positions, while many in a position of power are not nearly as smart as the people they "manage". Popularity or newness of the employee is often the deciding factor of who's ideas get done (when they get done at all).
