I worked at one of these companies catering to a large network of dealerships. Quit after 1 month. The one company I worked at was outsourcing all or most of the development work with an onshore mostly as management and a couple of devs in the US.

It was a massive shit show.

- Tests? Useless and garbage. Only used to pump their code coverage reports to show to management

- Design? Non existent and a hacked together code base across a half dozen low bid contractors, probably junior engineers at best

- CI? Dedicated test environments? Nah, costs too much money. Just “use docker to test on local and deploy directly to prod”

- Documentation? Besides very basic instructions on how to deploy locally … good luck

- backup and recovery? Nah who has time for that. Just work on the features that {big client} wants

- code quality? I wish there was a “god” class, but in this code base they managed to create a universal class or “macro service”

Management was a mess. Just a mouthpiece for sales or executives. No backbone. No vision. Just “alright we just need to get through the quarter” mentality.
