This is also a sign that code reviews are not working properly (either missing due to a team too small; or not enough time invested to do them properly; or people are not "free" enough to tell their coworker that their code is bad; or it was done too late, once there isn't enough time to fix it; etc).

That's mostly an organisation failure.



Or code reviews are working fine but there are no long-term consequence for people whose code consistently takes 10x more revision after reviewing. (This is also a kind of organizational failure, but one where reprimanding the IC in question can still be the right response. But I also doubt a drive-by ad hoc external review of every person in the company is going to be the best approach to find this!)
