It’s quite a luxury to work in a company where every interaction is perfectly empowered.

Many of us have jobs that are on the whole very good, but where inter-departmentmental or inter-personal challenges come up from time to time. I’m definitely not one who’s willing to quit in search of the elusive perfect company in that case.

Startups often offer it, and it doesn't have to be so early stage that one has to work more hours either. Once a company gets older, it adds layers of damaging bureaucracy that comes in the way of innovation.
I’ve worked at several startups and I’m not at all sure the typical employee is more empowered. Yes, large companies have bureaucracy, but startups often have micromanaging founders who haven’t learned stuff like delegation.
