How did you end up on such bad teams? Bad luck? Misleading pre-job communication? Other considerations made the teams actually good, and the bad qualities you mentioned are just part of the story?
Maybe I just have unlucky friends, but when I compare notes with friends, I don't seem to have had unusually bad luck. No VCS sounds off, but it was an FPGA team and I've heard of similar from other FPGA teams. 75% turnover is a lot, but it's not uncommon to hear about 50%, etc.

My work network is mostly in the STL internal enterprise software market and then mobile teams at BigCos, so it's been pretty different. If you haven't written about this already, I'd love to read about norms of various techs.

For example, iOS seems strongly opposed to unit tests. Most teams I've talked with don't usually want to write them. I was a Java developer for 10 years before iOS, and I was doing junit in 2004, so this has always been unsettling to me.
