It was like reading a description of Amazon. Thousands of talented and intelligent employees with thousands of ideas that could make or save godless amounts of money, 99% of which were shot down after they bubble their way up through a leadership telephone game which eventually totally misrepresents the idea, and the remaining 1% of ideas get the resource strangle after some VP decides his pet project needs all the resources and allocates his budget accordingly. Amazon is a place where intelligent ambition is rewarded with plenty of money, but never used for anything but implementing other people's ideas.
