Can't agree more. I've had similar experiences in a competitive environment with bad management. I moved from a small consulting firm where I was top performing and very happy, to a large hierarchical / competitive office where I lost a lot of confidence. Eventually I left and found a new job in a much better team and it made a world of difference.
