It's hard to really, really, deeply compare what's more common and less common, because there's not really a lot of meaningful reporting. If we could report on the problem in earnest, we'd be fixing it. What I can say is:

- if you can make the computers go beep boop in industry, then you can much more readily leave and take your skills elsewhere, and you won't have to put up with the abuse. you don't usually have to stick it out to finish a project or degree.

- your manager's success is probably tied to your success a little better, and you're more likely collaborating on the same deliverables. also, your manager probably hasn't been in place for nearly as long, as industry is much more dynamic in terms of staffing.

- you're less likely to encounter top down abuse. you're more likely to encounter team cultures where the entire team casually engages in mild hazing, as a sort of frat-ish way to build camaraderie, particularly at the smallest firms. you can usually avoid being part of such a culture, if you push back gently but firmly and bring a positive attitude of earnest appreciation of the people around you instead, and you will probably be valued for that — however, this will be work, and may drain you emotionally as you do it.

You’re also more likely to encounter gross incompetence in industry, unfortunately. Harder to get away with that and find a job as an academic (in math and hard sciences, to be clear).
