I recently joined a company. I don't know what role i'm actually into but I'm exposed to all areas of the project. This is what i figured...
Developers are developing without a design.
Developers are not fully aware that they are developing a service oriented application.
Application architecture is a complete mess.
Anti-patterns are implemented in almost all area's of application
AngularJs application is sitting on top with absolutely no separation of controller and service logic. No separation of controllers itself. Everything is written in single js file.
Classic MVC web application sitting in the back-end with web controllers in it and with no Models and some piece of code is written in the Base controller to serialize the object to Json string which is given to angularjs app. Model is defined in the XML file. Developers are not aware of API controllers.
Entity Framework is Ignored and classic ADO.NET is chosen for data access. Even the simple database logic is written in stored procedure
A small module is almost complete and team is literally scared to add/remove anything to the application because doing so will break the application.
Some master tables are mocked-up to support the development of the current module
There's no naming convention followed anywhere
Implementation of Authentication and authorization is incorrect. anybody can take the username, password or the session
The team doesn't know how to enable cross-origin resource sharing so url-encoded content type is used for all HTTP post.
Even the look-up table have these four columns - create_by, create_Date, UpdateBy , updatedt
Every week we have a project meeting and demo with the client. We show the same screen to the client with some changes which was requested in the previous meeting
There's no business analyst or Technical architect in this project. Some developers with no design skills are working on this huge enterprise application.
Team doesn't ask for help, they don't research but they google and copy, paste any code that they think it works.

Business domain and User Requirements are very interesting, An awesome US Client is looking for a real system. A decent amount is charged every month. It's been three months since the project started. It's been 4 weeks since i joined this company and this project. I said to the Senior Project Manager, there is a need to redesign the system. We have to do it at this early stage. We cannot design a system like this and it will not work. When the project grows, it will become difficult to do anything at all. There is a high risk of failure. And the manager responded "No, No, NO... we have to give a demo to the client next week and there is a release planned week after next. Lets move on with the same way we are doing".

OK alright. Team is totally focused on doing some crap to show it to the client because they don't know how to solve the client's problem.

What should i do?
