Management actively promotes groupthink
People are mostly friendly. The benefits package is good. The company spends a significant amount of money on morale-boosting activities.
Management actively promotes only those who tell them what they want to hear and suppresses dissenting opinions. This is particularly acute with regards to project planning, resulting in half-baked, rushed code.
A direct quote from management: "Don't ask the domain tech lead so many hard questions."
Middle management must stop drinking the Kool-Aid and start cultivating a culture that is honest with itself about the state of the system.
