I went from that type of world (cell carrier) to a FAANG type company and it was shocking. The baseline trust that engineers were given by default was refreshing and actually a bit scary.

I’m not sure my former coworkers would have done well in an environment with so few constraints. Many of them had grown accustomed to (and been rewarded and praised for) only taking actions that would survive bureaucratic process, or fly underneath it.
