Very political work environment where the stated agenda/objectives are rarely the actual goals. It makes it very difficult to align and prioritize work when the rug could be pulled out from underneath you at any given moment for political reasons. For example, a manager of one group that you have a dependency on might purposely sabotage your work (by with holding resources) in order to argue that your manager isn’t proficient at managing so that they can make the case for absorbing their headcount, thus warranting a higher salary for themselves because they are now managing more people.
