Unless skin in the game counts as accountability, then that's definitely missing from the list. My previous employer had zero accountability for the people above the software engineers who implemented things and unfortunately these people made all the decisions. You'd have architects and PMs who had all these terrible ideas, tell people to implement these terrible ideas and then blame the engineers when things didn't work. So dumb.
