Culture eats processes for lunch.
It is incredibly frustrating to join a new team, point out the very obvious misalignment between agile and what they are doing...
and then become assimilated and just march on becoming part of that same culture.

haha this is so true. It basically always happens unless you walk away
The old maxim is that every human problem has at least two answers: Voice and Exit. Exit is leaving - and you should never take that off the table. But Voice (speaking up, changing the culture around you) is incredibly powerful. Getting good at voice is to get good at leadership.
Strong leaders - at any level in an organisation - can change the culture around them, to a certain extent. For good or ill. Not all culture comes from outside of us. Some, we get to create.
Damn, that's a good way of putting it.
