Relatedly, this is also a big reason why I personally struggle to work at large tech companies. The velocity just isn't there because you have to be more thoughtful before you act - the environment is less conducive to quick action and less forgiving of mistakes. And you specifically have to be more thoughtful about considerations that are often immaterial to core business value. I realized after a while that certain large company experiences can train you such that you no longer know how to hustle, and that seemed like a considerable invisible cost of the arrangement.
