The executives can't get out of their own way. Employees are micromanaged to death, and the mood in the office reflects it. They preach an open and transparent environment, but the second you ask an uncomfortable question or point out an elephant in the room, you're quietly marked for dismissal. I've seen extremely talented people get pushed out of their roles simply because they offered a dissenting opinion, based in experience and fact, that didn't fit with management's "vision".
