I've only ever encountered one firm's codebase that I felt was terrible, and it was pervasive across everything they did. Over abstracted with whatever the design pattern of the week was, pointless microservices to nowhere, having novice frontend devs attempt to write Go. Blunty, it just didn't work and fell over constantly.

Everything else made sense at the time it was written. Sure it may have outgrown it's usefulness today but if something chugs along for a few years I'm not going to call it bad code, just bad for the current situation, it was fine when it was authored.
