I think we're in a phase right now where small companies absorb a lot of the top talent but many or most of these companies will fail and eventually some of the really good people will be available for larger companies again. I can attest, though, that hiring for mega-corps like the one I work for is very difficult. All this talk about how large companies are so horribly incompetent, etc. is hogwash. I think it's just incredibly hard for a large organisation to solve their inherent problems. From what I can tell the leaders generally figure out exactly what the problem is but are somehow incapable of solving it. And it's not a matter of salaries or benefits alone.
