Absolutely no process, no communication, and no leadership accountability.
leadership had no idea how to properly delegate tasks, manage time or give proper feedback, guidance and training.
Being shuffled from one sprint to the next almost without warning, were constantly pulled off of projects halfway through working on them only to be given something totally different, scolded for not following the near non-existent design guidelines and when issues were brought up they were quickly dismissed and nothing changed. Attempts at organizing within our team ended up being pointless due to the aforementioned task hopping.
There was no transparency into the design process whatsoever and anything bad or broken was shoved to the side in favor of cheap, empty pep-talks and ignoring how miserable everyone was for having to pick up the work left behind from that attitude.
I understand that Backbone is a startup and a lot of the issues can be attributed to a rapidly growing team, juggling multiple tasks and overall just figuring things out, but the way it all was handles and how people got treated during all of that was deeply unfair and unprofessional.
