I've found much the opposite. I love working for product companies, because the vision is clear. There's an actual goal in mind, not just "keep the customer satisfied." I helped my last company build the world's first fully wireless neonatal ICU. I help my current company keep people in austere environments connected with each other. If that isn't meaningful stuff, I don't know what is. Is this a geography problem? I feel like I hear complaints about meaninglessness of work from my peers on the west coast far more often than I hear them from my neck of the woods.
