No code standards or code reviews means a code base that is non-standard and limited by each developer's understanding of good practice. Products are well out of date. Employee development was non-existent until just recently. No marketing means that future efforts are often a knee jerk response to sales and rarely fill out the product offering well. Still in existence because lives in such a niche market.
