People here are quite caught up in why things are this way and whether it's right. But I 5hink that is irrelevant to OPs question. OP cannot change the organisation he is part of. He lacks the authority and even if he had authority (was say CEO) changing organisation culture is really hard. So OP must either put up or leave. Whether, How and When to leave are the questions. These depend on OPs circumstances: * What other opportunities does OP have? Are there interesting startups hiring in his area (geography and expertise)? Could he start his own business? Would the mega corp let him start a separate business unit with some autonomy? * What are ops finance's like? Can he afford to quit without another job, go to an insecure job, become an entrepreneur? Will he get a nice big bonus or stock vestment if he stays another X months? * Does OP really care?
