The redirect to a $LARGE_COMPANY/process is best understood as what everyone who does not have $THE_WIRE/suction deals with to get anything done. No one that matters at a $LARGE_COMPANY is impeded by the process unless they want to be impeded by the process. (eg: delaying tactic, turf war!, pass for political reasons, don't think it matters and so can't be bothered, think that the request is wrong for reasons, and so on.) Large companies view your day-to-day activities through a very different lens than a startup, and they want you to use a very different lens as well, and you'd need to get the right combination of manager and mentor and team and teammates and yourself to get the payoff. I'd roll into another startup; since you haven't, I'd assume you have reasons for not rolling into another startup, but it's getting kind of abstract at this point.
