I wouldn't say for sure that smaller companies have less politics. Some smaller companies are fine. But the ones that aren't very profitable and are older, or are a child company of a parent company, no guarantees. But I have seen

I can't disagree more with "language X is more precise/able to express more nuance than Y" Japanese has 4 words for "If" each one is used in a different set of circumstances and has a slightly different meaning
