- ever increasing bureaucracy, process, and other tedious stuff. probably par for the course with any bigorg - diluted focus and vision in some engineering areas. can be frustrating finding and doing impactful work. - strong drive "forward" means some legacy headaches are tolerated for too long - unrefined inter-department processes can cause headaches with security, infra, devenv situations
