This has been my experience a well. The reason why working in corpo policy heavy company is hard is because of processes, blockers, and a management that is more interested in political maneuvers than any actual product or services.
- pavel_lishin 3y agoThis is true even if there aren't heavy policies in place; in fact, it's worse, because you have to figure out or guess how decisions get made, and by whom, and there's no day to day consistency. You end up working on projects that get cancelled for no reason you can tell, you have to pitch ideas without knowing what the metrics they'll be judged on. It's arguably more demoralizing.
