If I may crowdsource, for those of you who have worked at both enterprisey corporate behemoths and (non-toxic) tech companies, what are the biggest differences you would identify between the two and from what role/perspective do you say this?
@tharper Disney ABC Television Group required multiple VP-level approvals to get *anything* done. VPs felt like they weren’t doing their jobs unless they tweaked something, which usually required restarting sign off with everyone. VPs knew this and would just agree with their peers unless it was a change from another VP they didn’t like. The pettiest bargaining I’ve ever witnessed. IC software engineers had to lead this sign off process due to it treating “IT” like an internal agency.

Thanks!
I recognise many of these, both VPs having appear to be "experts" and software engs being treated like IT.
