Unfortunately, at large companies (and government and monopolies or oligopolies) it's easier for arrogant people to excel.

I want to find some posts I've seen here on HN that show this attitude.

edit: arrogance is less prevalent amongst technical people, but you can see examples amongst management, traders (read Michael Lewis's books, especially Liar's Poker), salesmen, etc.
