You are right.

In other words, they want people who'll work for them without complaining. Submissive people. People who won't think out of the box.

That's a scary thought to me. One that's probably correct, but scary, especially at companies who claim to champion "outside the box" thinking. It's almost like a sort of "Do as I say, not as I do."

I think it's just the reality of how software is made. There's room of innovative thinking in small startups, or at the highly technical specialized teams in mega corpX, but at the end of the day the grunt work has to be done by someone and that's going to fall to the line member.
