Thanks for the vote of confidence, you know how I'm feeling at the moment.
the irony is that many of them haven't always done it this way. they're Delphi developers who have only made the switch to .net in the last two or three years. I've used .net since the first beta release some 12 or so years ago, yet apparently they know better. that's the reason why we have stuff like homebrewed SOAP service implementations, ADO.net DataSets reimplemented from scratch, roll-your-own GridView paging in 200+ lines of code copy pasted everywhere and Html that still employs font tags and height and width attributes instead of using CSS.
should I get one of the architectural positions up for grabs not only will our design process require formalised UML designs before a single line of code is written, there will be a requirement for genuine unit testing and I'll also be tasked with doing code reviews and rubbish like I've encountered won't even make it into testing. I'm not in my job to be everyone's friend, I'm in it to produce the highest quality I possibly can.

I would start looking for a new job outside that company. You probably wouldn't be able to make a big difference in the architectural position. That is unless the developers report directly to you. If they do I would say yes grab it and try to change things. If that isn't the case it will be a lot harder battle to win. Either way it will be a hard battle to fight.
If it was me I would just move on and try to find another job out there working for a company that fits how you develop. Found that is usually the best thing to do rather than change how every one else works. A lot less headaches and usually you end up happier in the end. You should be able to find out if the company is a right fit for you in the job interview. Just ask a lot of questions in the interview and it should tell you if the job is right for you.

Since I'm vegetarian, is there a valid replacement for Bacon?
