I was working for a world leading semiconductor company. I was in one of the software groups. I was new to the team. I was surprised that the team did not test the software they were releasing. When I requested if I could setup automated build and test servers, I was flatly told "we don't have time". And the next day 5000(I am not kidding you) static analysis defects were dumped into my lap with a deadline of few days. So I asked, how can one engineer cover 5000 static analysis defects in few days? The reply baffled me. I was told most of the defects have been "resolved", I just need to mark them as "resolved" again. So I asked, if these are already resolved why do they appear in the latest report and why do I have to repeat this again. Even marking a defect resolved needs investigation. The reply was "we have always been doing it this way"! All efforts to automate build, tests and static analysis were shot down. I left the company in less than two years. The other team members got high raises and praises for their "efforts" and the company finally failed to enter the market it was desperately trying to get into. That is a big company in a nutshell, the management is busy spinning employees so good employees immediately call out BS and leave. So what is left is okayish to not so okay employees. Ultimately the company suffers, but who cares when there are bonuses given without understanding what really is happening in the company.
