Yeah... Usually if you join a company with bad practices it's because the people who already work there don't want to do things properly. They tend to not react well to the new guy telling them what they're doing wrong.

Only really feasible if you're the boss, or you have an unreasonable amount of patience.

Usually, the boss (or people above the boss) are the one's stopping it. Engineers know what the solution is. They may still resent the new guy saying it, though, because they've been through this fight already and are tired.
