I have a completely different perspective: processes in a company reflect the people and the relationships between them. It is on these levels you must operate in order to bring change. As an engineer you have very little power to do so. So leaving and finding a different team is often the right choice when you are unhappy. From my experience staying and fighting an uphill battle is an exercise in futility which will bring more unhappiness to you and the people you are trying to change.
