This is a great point - the culture of a workplace has more to do with the culture of your team and the quality of your immediate management than it does with the organization. There are people in small startups who are miserable at work every day because of bad management, and people who work in large companies that are excited to go to work and make a difference.

We usually think small companies have better management, but that's survivor bias - the ones with bad management tend to fail, or not scale up. And the people who are in large organizations that like their job tend to write about it less, because they're able to think about other things.
