You'll find average everywhere - that is rather the thing about average after all. Every startup or small company that claims to recruit the best is usually more about not recruiting the mediocre. Or canning them as quickly as possible once identified - recruitment is a very imprecise art after all. Regardless of what hoops and whiteboard games take place. Everyone is average at some things, even most things, on average (sorry)! Equally everyone has some things they can excel at and be above average - those are the things to focus on and develop. And subsequently highlight. Mediocrity seems to survive better the larger the company and especially so in the huge consultancies. You might think of a huge corporation as where the mediocre can go to hide.
