This is an engineering leadership problem. Your new company does not seem to have an engineering leader who understands the cost to the business of having the engineers act the way they currently are. I don't think you have to run away, and you don't have to become such a leader yourself, but you should talk with your leadership and show them why what the team is doing now is not good. Make sure to first understand what your leadership values, then present to them better ways of doing engineering where you show the impact it has on the things they value.
So like for automated tests if the leadership currently thinks that test code isn't actually doing anything for the customer so why should it be done? Then you have to show how much money/time/whatever has been spent by engineering fixing the same bug over and over because you lack regression tests and compare that to how much would have been spent to write a test case for that regression.
