Has Nokia Bell labs since the acquisition produced anything even within an order of magnitude as significant or impactful as Bell labs did during its heyday? What is it with incumbent old companies far past their prime paradoxically having much more stringent high standards for hiring? Is it a coping mechanism to believe that they are still at the caliber they once were by treating getting a job at their company like some necessarily arduous odyssey?

Is it a coping mechanism to believe that they are still at the caliber they once were by treating getting a job at their company like some necessarily arduous odyssey? I don't think it's some grand mystery; they're past their prime, not in a phase of aggressive growth. Layoffs at these places are far more likely than new hires. If a new hire is made, it's exceptional, and naturally involves a lot of deliberation/friction.
