* A lot of legacy baggage
* Functional excellence doesn't exist
* Need more standardization across organization
* Systems data quality is worse than average which impacts daily operations and reporting
* Shifting priorities too often
* Strategy is sort of there but when it comes to execution it all falls apart
* Acquisitions completely derail already planned initiatives
* Below average new colleague onboarding. I wouldn't even call 30 minute meeting for a new hire onboarding. It's embarrassing and puts a lot of pressure on a hiring manager.
* It would be beneficial for many to learn what product lifecycle management is and what it entails.
* Invest in your people and their development if you want them to stick around. And no, 1-2 hours of training a year does not count.
* Some colleagues need serious training and managers need to make sure they are following departmental work instructions.
* Not enough planning and rushing into execution
* Too many of "I want" and "I need" requests. It needs to work for the whole company not for a few people. And department leaders need to enforce that
* Transparency and communication needs improvement
* Too lean of an organization. Company's growth in the last 5-7 years was substantial and workforce in some departments is no longer sufficient. This makes work and life balance extremely challenging
* Promoting heroism and putting out fires on daily basis
