1) 100% "Working in Powerpoint"
Most thoughts, ideas, iteration, etc happens in PowerPoint. I think it's incredibly counter-productive...too much time is spent on aligning things, making things look good etc.
2) Too many chefs in the kitchen...Having 10 "stakeholders"/bosses
The amount of times Partner A says A, Partner B says B, Principal C says C, Client Executive says D, and Project Lead says E, was insane...and all over the span of a week with none of them talking to each other. The churn/iteration/re-work was insane and I always felt it could be better resolved by just having people in a room talking AND probably having fewer headstrong/opinionated leaders!
I love how Amazon has banned powerpoint and just jointly works together in a shared word document in the first 30 minutes of every meeting...no wonder they're taking over the world
