Cool story :) You are bang on point when it comes to software engineering at what are thought to be "top tier" development houses. In the ideal world sure they will build the very best software but the real world has [unrealistic] deadlines and when you have deadlines it means corners get cut. Not always but very often. This leads to the whole "does it do exactly what is required?" and if it does then you are moved onto the next thing often with the "promise" that you will be able to go back and "fix things" at a later date. Of course we all know that promise is never kept.
