I have to disagree with that, simply based on my current job. It's a big corporation, but my particular team is just a group of 7 engineers who have simply been told to design a brilliant product - we have massive control over what the product does. The problems we face are very similr to those that you get in a start-up, as we are building an entire product from scratch. Yet, if you asked someone that hadn't worked there what they would expect the atmosphere to be like working there, they assume that you're probably going to be a cube-farm drone, putting out more paperwork than code. It sounds like a boring place to work, without actually being a boring place to work. PS: If anyone is a Gentoo guru looking for work in Paris, don't hesitate to contact me :-)
