Exactly this i've tried myself, seen stuff of very obvious value thrashed because it didn't fit someones career-path, and seen million dollar projects just going in circles with no one knowing what they are doing but too proud to admit failure - very often there's a few people who see things very clearly in each company, but most people are just playing games.

In the smaller co-owned startups people have so many roles and have to be so absolutely tapped in everyone are talented, but the bigger the company, the more people are either just chillin' or working their life away on projects that are going nowhere, and there's seemingly little relation between skill, wages and position.

Sounds like a know it all - i know - but i'm seriously turned off after working at larger corps, to me it seems like mirror of an unjust society, which i think america and the west is to an increasingly absurd degree.
