Not surprised at that - a prior company I worked at, where I first learned Java, they had consultants and (i thought..) smart engineers working together to develop a quite large web application. The company folded a year later, and I moved on. It wasn't till after I got into jsp/servlets that I realized that they had horribly mangled the MVC.. namely they wrote the entire thing in a couple massive behemoth JSP page and not a single servlet in sight. I remember one particular .jsp being over 4000 lines.
I've since come to the conclusion that so-called consultants get their $150/hr jobs either by being experts, or by sheer incompetence. Which happens more often, I don't know. :)

You might laugh at this, but I've worked with high priced consultants from
well respected companies who always managed to do something like
System.exit(0); in a Servlet. :-) Or, better yet, the certified "web
developer" from a 3-letter acronym company (not IBM) who liked to write all
content to a temporary file before sending it back to the client.
