I've often heard embedded is a nightmare of slapdashery. Any tips for finding shops that do it right?

It's not foolproof, but I've found there's a strong correlation between product margin and the sanity of the dev experience.

There is inherent complexity and self-inflicted complexity, they tend to go hand in hand but self-inflicted complexity can be exacerbated in bad projects. A lot of embedded software is just inherent complex, cars for example.

A lot of times it is, but it's not your fault. It's the fault of vendors and/or third party code you have to use.
