  Yep, I've never been in a team where the process was not a regular topic of debate. Once it stops being a topic of debate, it actually just means people are no longer adapting. I prefer a good dose of pragmatism here. Changing the rules all the time is very draining on team morale. Similarly not adapting to obvious process issues is equally demoralizing. Since everyone is doing, or claims to be doing, agile, the whole notion is completely meaningless. Unless they are actively advertising to be doing some form of waterfall, you can safely assume there is some notion of iterations involved. What matters more these days is whether the team is mature enough to have continuous deployment without process bureaucracy. Deployment fear is a good sign the process sucks. If you have a need for human gatekeepers, something is wrong with the test automation. Deploying often and with confidence is a good sign you are dealing with a smoothly running team.
