All symptoms of a concern I have had since the early 80's. Big companies bore creative people. What you end up with is mediocre people who feel they cannot escape the system, sticking it out. They end up providing the hardware software and firmware that are essential for profitable computer users everywhere. Big companies push the guys with real talent out the door.
A friend of mine graduated from Carnegie-Mellon with a degree in Computer Science. He went to work at Mircosoft in Redmond. He hated it! Although his pedigree was impeccable, he said he was forced to climb the social/corporate ladder along side graduates of ITTech and the local community colleges. He won the climb of course. And found that it was worse as a manager. He left. He went to law school and is now a criminal defense attorney.
