The biggest problem was that nobody seemed to have the slightest clue what anyone else was doing. It felt like working inside isolated groups that barely functioned as part of the same organization. You would spend weeks working on a project only to discover another team had already been doing the exact same thing the entire time, which became infuriating almost immediately. Information never moved between teams because everything was either hidden away, poorly documented, or ignored completely, and hours disappeared trying to figure out what actually existed or what had already been created. Meetings turned into groups of people blindly guessing at everyone else's priorities because nobody had visibility into anything beyond their own corner. The entire place felt disconnected and directionless, with teams stumbling around in the dark and absolutely no reliable system for getting critical information to the people who actually needed it.
