Yeah that's what you get for working at a large company. The good thing: they pay is pretty good, and you can reasonably get away with doing absolutely nothing and get paid awesomely. The bad thing: nothing gets done and there are 4 layers of management, and you will end up frustrated. The job market for IT is great now. You won't "change the company from the inside". You won't be "a startup within an org". This will only get worse. Look at what you are doing, and if you don't like it now, and can afford the instability of a start-up, leave.

> and you can reasonably get away with doing absolutely nothing I see comments in this vein a lot and it just blows my mind that you'd want to sit around all day doing nothing. To be clear, I'm not advocating the sort of role/company which demands 110% for 12 hours a day, work/life balance is extremely important. But I could not find any enjoyment in just sitting at my desk all day without actually doing anything productive. I guess I'm fortunate enough to have a job which I really enjoy.
