Really grinds my gears to get a review request for a huge PR with almost no context and no instructions on how to run the code / test data.

I've even had one guy ask for a review who hadn't even manually tested his own codes happy path. Sure he wrote some unit tests and those ran but once you actually tried using the code in the app all kinds of exceptions and weird situations came up. No idea how people dare do that shit.

Poor management and time pressure are the answers. It often looks better to push some shit code and then push the fixes later than it does to take twice as long to verify a good change.
