For me worst system that I had to fix and I had to save the company from losing only paying customer didn't have any of controls.

It was just bunch of freelancers doing what they wanted and paid in gold.

Right now as company is growing I consider leaving from time to time because people we now hired start creating bureaucracy that I would never go into.

Well I definitely introduced process into company - but as I see it there must be some absolute baseline tickets/repo/CI/CD for standards and at least weekly meeting.

I also agree that for a lot of software requiring unit testing (a lot of people writing bs tests just to pass review), requiring 2 or 3 people to sign off PR is just something I would not recommend.

Some process is necessary, for sure. However, if they only had one paying customer, sounds like they had bigger problems than no controls.
