This seems to happen more in B2B startups in my experience. I think it's because there's just more blind trust in B2B, and the success bar is a little lower than B2C. I worked at a company which was testing on production, didn't use source control. They messed up hard and frequent with critical customers, including a major media company that could have slandered the hell out of them. That company still didn't die and are popular in the community. Natural selection applies in the business world, but some startups really are the cockroaches of the world. That said, it's not common. It happens in maybe 2-3 jobs out of 10. Often these are the guys who say yes to everything the customer asks for, which puts them in a peculiar niche.
