I like this article a lot, it's a pretty good summary of the problem. > Most developers, especially in larger organizations, complain about meetings, I would quibble with this though - I think this depends a lot on your manager, your project, and some other things. I've been part of start-ups that have a daily standup that lasted over an hour and involved everyone in the company (~20 people), and the time in my career I had the fewest meetings was when I worked for Dow Jones (not a FAANG, but also not a small company). My experience working for a few different start-ups is that start-ups have as many meetings, they just tend to be more ad-hoc, less formal, and might not always involve a formal Outlook Calendar invitation.
