Accurate but it can be really tough to find the good places. My experience is that most huge companies are not great. Too much bureaucracy. Startups can be a lot of fun, but the relentless pressure to grow, and grow fast can cause problems. My favorite places have been small, steadily growing companies working on things that are not "winner take all" markets, where you can do things right, move quickly, and know most of the people you work with.
