   It took the project manager half a day of sitting next to me with his laptop while I watched him to figure out the steps to set up a local development environment for a project I've been assigned to.

   Every developer has to improvise his own local instance of the project. The project manager basically made a Vagrantfile for the project on the fly using PuPHPet.

   I've seen vastly superior workflows at other companies, and this was frustrating to watch.

      Basically, their developer on-boarding process is non-existent. I don't think they have a continuous integration system either. I haven't seen any Jenkins servers since I started this job.

      The main problem, as I see it, is that there is no single person who is in charge of development at the company. There are just a bunch of developers who improvise everything. The only aspect of IT that's properly organised is the Operations department.
