Any of their "engineering" content is like that for me. I'm primarily an embedded systems developer but in an industry that keeps me close to hardware and other engineering systems (including IT infrastructure) and I'm 100% with you on the watching out of morbid curiosity. I don't know necessarily how to do things the best, but I know enough to know when something could be better and what they have ain't it.

I don't know if I agree on the cultural problem, I think it's more of an experience problem. Almost everyone they hire, even for Labs has to have some kind of publication or writing background. You're not going to find good QA or test engineers by having that huge ask on top, so they're not getting the experience to test properly. I'm not sure they even recognize that performing the tests is like 10% of the total work.
