Oh wow. I think the most astounding thing to me is the lack of design documentation. *Any* project you're getting paid for you should have justifications breaking down every choice you've made for elements of the project. For small jobs, that may never be written in a formal document but for a job in the hundreds of thousands with multiple people engaged in it to have no design documentation? That's horrifically unresolved.

I'd think this was a con... but I could make so much better a con given a month. I'm currently gleefully making web-sites for fake businesses as part of my studies actually.
