In my experience, there's companies where it's clear that TDD solves less than hiring competent developers and having anyone writing requirements. Testing requires being able to think in depth about maintenance and verification of software. These are not easy tasks and often get distorted into 100% coverage or else - which really just encourages unmaintainable and usually useless tests.
