This applies to small companies and even big companies (like Google). The skill set to be a good developer is consistent no matter what the size of your company.

I agree only partially. It definitely applies to all sizes of companies, but larger companies seem to care less about it during interviews. This is a large part of why startups work more efficiently on average.

I dunno about other big companies, but Google seems to care about it a lot.

Agreed, they are an anomaly there in my mind.
