Doing everything by the book, or according to the guidelines some random person published on Medium last Wednesday is a luxury we don't all have. You have the merit of having done all that, and it works. Now, sure, don't we all, to some extent, want to change everything when we arrive in a new environment? IMO, it comes down to a couple of things: - Who make the choices of refactoring an app or not? - What's the company roadmap. To avoid being showed the door, I would advise you to support refactoring. Show enthusiasm and support. You could be the guy with the knowledge on how everything has been done and why, and that is greatly valued if the decision to refactor some app is made. Eventually, the decision to do so will depend on time and money.
