I've dealt with most of the issues in TFA and in comments here. Without engaging too much in the technicalities, I would offer that most of these issues actually stem from leadership, or lack thereof, and most often, at the middle management level, but sometimes middle management issues are just covering up upper management issues. Generally, I see these kinds of issues more often in non-technical management presiding over technical teams, because they have learned all the correct propitations to upper management and all the buzzword bingo for their teams, but lack a real understanding, and more importantly, lack the ability to form a coherent and actionable vision to correct these kinds of issues. (pet peeve issue with middle management is when they push others out of the interview process, and suddenly you have hires that don't belong at all.) As for me, I'm currently watching a good devops team go down the drain because of a bad manager, so I'm seriously considering trying to move to management so I can help my employer do better.
