Honestly, I only liked my team, and you can't really interview for that going in.
Aggressive silo'ing. Their goal is horizontal alignment, which gives them operational visibility, but it makes getting work done very difficult. It increases the "work in progress" time.
They're actually falling back on the previous. I think they're aware that it doesn't work. But that's con number 2: They change organizational structure and ideology too often. Then, there's no investment or execution on those organizational changes.
