" all software companies rush so hard." I suppose it depends on the business model the software is part of. If you want a pace that is compatible with proper engineering I would suggest looking into companies that deal with products whose lifetime is measured in decades such as CAD vendors or other highly technical software. All freshmen to software engineering have this weird idea that a piece of code can ship once it builds and just shipping as much code as much as possible is the best road to maximize productivity. Until they get hit in their faces time and again by recurring bugs and they start to understand that the way to manage long term software profitably is by making sure as few bugs as possible leave the software engineers desk, at which point best practices and long term planning starts to take hold. That's at least my view, YMMV to a large extent, probably.
