Interesting... I went from MEGACORP to startup, only for the startup to have, literally, an order of magnitude more meetings.

I think it depends on the company. I've worked at two megacorps, one where meetings were absolutely nonstop and the other where I had about 2 a week.

Do you mind telling us which one each was?

Sure. I had a lot of meetings at Netflix (was there for 5.5 years, left in July). I had almost no meetings at Microsoft (was there for 3.5 years, left 10 years ago).

This was just my experience. These are large companies so there is really no one overall experience, especially at MS.

Oh and I was an IC at both companies. More junior at MS.
