Yeah, every large tech company have the same problems as the next startup. It's just that the large companies have the money to continuously keep the issues at bay.
Large companies are just companies that have something that people are willing to pay for. Even if it means it's built on sand, and stuck together with toothpaste. Now they just have more money to buy more sand and toothpaste.
Pro
That analogy is painfully accurate, and honestly, kind of comforting in a weird way. It's a good reminder that no one has it fully figured out, not even the giants

I've worked at IBM and Microsoft, amd it amazes how everyone is still figuring things out. Part of it is just the nature of how tech is continually growing and evolving, though the other big piece was my thar my expectations didn't meet reality. It's not that other company is missing the market, It's just that life in general is far less concrete than we tend to want to believe. Every bit of life is nothing more than the wizard of Oz behind the curtain yanking levers and pushing buttons.
Pro
There's something humbling about realizing that even at places like IBM and Microsoft, people are still figuring it out day by day. I think a lot of us grow up imagining these companies have perfect systems, but they're really just collections of humans making trade offs

Definitely. The red tape can be hefty in big companies, sometimes they’re a well oiled machine and other times they’re very slow and inefficient.
Pro
It does feel like a coin toss sometimes, even within the same company across different teams.
