From what I've read, their turnaround was pretty fast, so I'm not surprised by this. I suppose this was a "hack it out, get it out, refactor later maybe" type of job.

Unfortunately, that ends up being a standard, with the "refactor later maybe" staying as a maybe.

Seriously, the only time I've see the "refactor later maybe" style work is when there are devs brave enough to ignore deadlines and use the weakest of excuses to refactor a class or system.
