Having experience both inside and out, I find large tech to be uniquely bad in this regard, but for an unexpected reason. Whereas outside large tech, managers are typically part product manager, part tech lead, part project manager and part people manager, inside it those are all distinct people. It leaves the EM role stripped it down to solely people management which pushes away many people who would make great managers, leaving only those who can't get a more attractive TL job.
