In my company we have a very modern agile workflow where QA is top priority.

At least that what we advertise. In reality it's all an unorganized clusterfuck where I'm pretty sure I am the only one who bothers to write automated tests. Who's got time to write tests bro just push that shit out ASAP we'll deal with it when the client calls us in the middle of the night to complain about previously-working shit being broken now.

I've worked for one company that actually did it right (complete with pair programming, even). It was pretty nice.

Too bad we were apparently the "experimental?" team and the only one in the whole company doing it that way.

I worked for a company like that. Wall Street shits bought us up and sold everything that wasn't bolted down.

Ironically, that was the one time I was working for a large, publicly-traded company (a big-box retailer, no less -- not even one of the halfway-respectable Fortune 500s!).
