Certain voices in the team were terrified of "siloing", and so it was a matter of policy that everyone had to jump tasks and teams every two weeks, unless they had a solid case for a longer term task.
The result was that no one knew what the hell they were doing, because no one had time to learn anything before they were shuffling chairs again.
We were only saved from this madness when a major data center failure took out the app and all process theatre was temporarily suspended during crisis mode. Once we got back online, it was quickly realized that we'd all been wildly more productive and not just because of the crisis, but because we could actually function organically without the artificial strictures.

It's possible it's intentional though. It's hard to leave the team or company when you're just ok at a lot of things, but not an expert in anything.
