Lots of technology and lots of change. Lots of money so it's fairly easy to get hardware and software requests through. Company is always trying to move forward. Lots of alcohol at work - many people have kegerators and beer fridges. Frequent motivational events with food and drink.

Chaos management routinely asks (expects) resources to work weekends.

There is very little communication and technology sharing between the teams, which results in each team running in their own direction with their own choice of technology.

Technical managers know absolutely nothing about the technology. Words like API and Tomcat are alien and simply do not exist in most managers' vocabulary.

The review process is from the late 90's Microsoft days - in short, even in a high-performing team, someone has to get a bad review as not everyone can be 'best'.

There is a reorg every few months.

Manager turnover is amazing. In one year, I saw 6 people come and go in a team of 50.

Hire technical managers that actually know how to turn on a computer.

Read 'DRIVE'.

Implement SCRUM.

Promote sharing.
