You know the longer I work in the industry that more one thing has becomes apparent. There are afaik no "dream" company which also are of sufficient size, except maybe Pixar (My theory is that if you work with products aimed at children it keeps your soul from corrupting) Google started as a Xanadu everyone wanted to job for, but more and more tales about bureaucracy and people jocking for power keeps coming into light. Apple has for long time seemed to be a very demanding employer where you sign away your life to the company the day you start working. Microsoft was the original power employer but for a long time seems to have been paralyzed by department infighting and middle management. Valve long claimed to have a unique and awesome culture but other accords has described it as being dysfunctional an ineffective. I'm not sure whether Facebook is good or bad or has corrupted at this point. Anyways, the point seem to be that the bigger the company the more business people and management who will corrupt the company. The more employees the more rules and bureaucracy is needed to enforce them. It certainly is possible to avoid this but it seems the bigger the company the faster the entropy slide into oblivion and the more energy it takes to counteract it... and not many do. The "Bozo explosion" as Jobs described also was very apt.
