- Non-engineers e.g. Sales would try to make engineering decisions
- Outdated methods, even though they claim to be 'innovators' e.g. not using version control tools such as Github due to 'security concerns'
- Nepotism runs high as it is a family-owned company, family members are in key management positions
- Very cliquey
- Poor working conditions i.e. poor lighting, heating, lack of concern for things like dust inhalation
- Over-selling to customers only to disappoint with projects overrunning
