I've done work for organizations where the practices ranged from extremely strict processes, to no process at all (from requirements gathering to devops.) I feel my best experiences were always in places that had some process that was developed over time, that had management in place that was willing to experiment with changes to said processes. But the way Agile is bought into at most big companies these days...it feels like management just wants to be lazy: "follow the process because hey that's what these smart guys say worked over in org X" even if it's a waste of time/resources/etc.
