I personally hate working for big companies. Your are just a little cog in a very dysfunctional machine. The 10% without anyone noticing sounds about right. Makes you wonder how much effort your colleagues are putting in... Go work for a small company, at about 6 to 20 people. Your work can actually make a difference there. 10% or 100% at a big company won't really be noticed as x10. At a small company, it makes a huge difference, at about x10. And for me personally, much more gratifying.
