And I'll add that at some big traditional companies, there's a surprising (to me at least) level of disdain for the individual "grunts" in the trenches actually doing the work. The attitude of some SVP's and up seems to be "why would I want the opinion of someone making $15/hour?". Forgetting that people who actually interact with your customers and processes frequently have insight that is useful, albeit not always very macro...
