Do you want developers that are passionate about their work or do you want compliant drones that will only ever do the bare minimum for you and blindly follow the directions laid out by management, even when they know it will be a disaster? I see a lot of companies where management just keep pushing their employees to get a month's work done in a few days, cutting corners and creating issues because nothing is properly thought out or tested.

It's called "development" not "Bam, it's done!" The best companies allow proper time for the development process to take place and have a proper team structure. Companies where everything is discussed as a team and you succeed and fail as a team. Proper agile teams which communicate at every step, with developers, testers, a scrum master, a business owner and a manager.

If you don't have that, you're basically not a proper development team, you're more of a startup that can't afford a proper development team. Nothing wrong with startups, but if you are a startup then you have to deal with your own weaknesses and shortcomings and take your failures on the chin.
