Any organisation with messy code doesn’t care about clean code - sure, they may regret it, they may wish it would magically go away, but if they cared then they wouldn’t have allowed all the dirty code to pile up. The only organisation in which your work will be valued is one in which the code is already clean.

Interesting insight.
I’ve never come across such an organization though. There are a handful that I think are in this spot where quality has mattered since day one but they’re so popular that I don’t stand a chance to even get noticed when applying in a sea of thousands of applicants. They also don’t hire very often.
And they’re very hard to find because what do you even search for? The ones I know, I found empirically through word of mouth, reputation, or just plain randomness by stumbling upon.
