I had an internship some time ago with a Large Company, and the codebase I was working on was very enterprisey-Java. It was really painful in this regard: an huge number of different classes, many of which were alternatives to each other, and pretty much everything was applied via homebrewed dependency injection. I didn't know this sort of thing had a name, but I think "ravioli code" matches perfectly. One of my first tasks was to make a minor change and after an hour or so I still had no idea where the code was that needed changing. I called my manager over and he spent about 40 minutes trying to find it. He did, eventually. The change I made then took about 10 minutes to write and test. That's 110 minutes of intern time + 40 minutes of manager time for a 10 minute fix.
