Start working on your plan B - another job, a break, contracting, whatever - and leave.
I just did it a few months ago. I worked with a company for 4+ months, figured out how much of a mess everything was, and - most importantly - found that everyone was unhappy but unwilling to change.
The secret is that MANY things are broken in MOST companies at any given moment. The things (people, processes, practices, tools, etc) that worked last week may not work this week as your team, tech, market, goals, and path change. It gets worse the more any of those things change.
The real questions to answer are:
a) do people understand things are broken? and
b) are they willing & able to change to make things better?
The answer to a) is WAY less important than the answer to b)
