I worked for a company for a decade that grew through acquisition. Their business model was slow moving, risk averse, and lean staff. And they made a ton of money. They bought troubled companies that were agile, over-staffed, and most importantly unprofitable and our job was to integrate them and then gut the staff to bare bones. Typically those unprofitable companies were profitable within 12 months. The existing staff at these acquisitions hated it because they had only ever known their unsustainable unprofitable way of doing things. "I used to call X and he could do this right away". "Interesting. Is that why your company was bleeding money and the owners came to us begging to have someone buy their sinking ship?" You were bought. If you don't like the new company, you can leave. You can try to tilt at windmills, or you can stay and open your mind and maybe you will learn the real reason things work the way they do at the new company. Finally, maybe you are right about all of this. I would quit and start your own company and crush your current employer's inefficiency in the market.
