Another challenge along the previous 4 years was leadership turnover. In the last 4 years, I've had 4 managers. No one every really lasted more than a year. My most recent manager quit to start a stealth startup around the time I switched teams. He's a great person and a great manager, but he's on to bigger and better things. I've only been on my new team for a few months and my new team is great, but I think you final sentence is really where my sentiment is right now.
