I'm guessing that any term you pick would carry a lot of baggage based on the management style de jour at your company. – Hot Licks Jan 26 '18 at 14:07

If they make decisions by themselves without discussing with a superior first, they are unprofessional to say the least. If, however, they ignore only their mates, they can be said to be "lone wolves" or "individualists".
"lone wolf" - a person who prefers to work, act, or live alone.
"individualist" - one that pursues a markedly independent course in thought or action, one that advocates or practices individualism.
