>took a development job once, where I learned on the first day: No backups, No source/revision control, No deployment process, No dependency management, No bug tracker.

And that is why one should always ask about these important things before the first day, i.e. during the interviews, before you decide if you want the job or not. Fortunately I'm in a position that the above would be a near-automatic "no" from me.

edit "Near" automatic as there might be a way out if the company knows that they need to improve drastically and has the will to do it. The other response "what were you able to do to improve the situation?" is key.
