When the team has a demo day, brown bag lunch, or something where people share new ideas, that’s a great time to show off testing. Are tests part of your CI/CD

When the team has a demo day, brown bag lunch, or something where people share new ideas, that’s a great time to show off testing.
Are tests part of your CI/CD pipeline now? You can always add them to your own code. And slowly increase the number of tests that way.
You might have a harder time adding a style guide if no one cares. You could try to add the style guide as part of your build pipeline. You might need to start by fixing all the low hanging fruit errors yourself.
Whatever you do, don’t do what I did and start complaining about stuff at every step while in a new job. It’s a big ship. Turn it slowly, or be prepared to live in the worst cabin and/or be thrown overboard.
Bring it up in your 1 on 1 with your manager, too. Just ask their thoughts. Maybe they also feel the same way, and have wanted to improve things.
Is there anything extraordinary about this job? You could always just find another job where testing & code quality are taken more seriously if it’s really important to you. If something is special, be prepared to live with the things you don’t like for a while.
