I think it depends on the big company. With aws or on-prem cloud native tech, there is a lot of freedom and responsibility given to individual engineers to build services and applications in an autonomous fashion. This goes for everyone, including folks with a year of two out of college. I have seen no limit to what an individual engineer can accomplish at my big company as long as they have the desire and ambition.
