I wouldn't be shocked if a lot of these companies literally have no designers working on these products. Just engineers laying out UI similar to what is already in the product, based on the requirements. Any art assets come from stock libraries.

Yeah, you pretty much nailed it.

When a boss sends an email and says 'use an image like this' - you use that image.

I suggested hiring a designer, just for some of the most used features and all I got was 'yeah, okay, hmmm'
