Less autonomy also means less responsibility which affects growth in a bad way, but there is a small bright side to this, it reduces the cognitive workload and one can have leftover energy for side projects and hobbies. For the ones who have absolutely no taste to bureaucracy/red tape/stupid hierarchies of command, this could be soul sucking though

Despite his best efforts, the project was delivered above spec and on time (saving his ass), but I burnt so many political bridges making it happen that I ended up moving teams.
