1. Leadership is largely hypocritical, dictatorial, and afflicted by tunnel vision. Decisions are also made spuriously to change personnel without foresight of succession planning. Ex-military staff could parachute into upper ranks even though they lack real world "hands-on" experience.
2. There is a fairly large pool of highly graded personnel that evolved into a micro-managing culture of sorts at many levels. This microcosm lacks humility, are defensive on shortcomings and pays lip service to values.
3. Many initiatives are undertaken for the sake of appearing "business trendy" but lacks substance or visibility of ground issues/core business principles.
4. Poor workplace culture is endemic where staff gets blamed for mistakes, resources do not get allocated and the big-picture becomes misshapen.
5. The company is also obligated to the unreasonable expectations and petty demands of high-handed military customers.
