I work for such a firm (10k employees) and we try hard to be competitive with startups on salary - we have to in order to keep hiring. It is definitely not the same pace as a startup (I joined via acquisition), but good big projects at scale and an open-ness to work from just about anywhere. It is a trade off for sure, but RSUs in a mature market are a more sure bet than many startups.

I applaud your company for keeping up with salaries. I think stability and pace and maturity is a great thing. But I’ve seen mass departures once corporate accounting types take over and forget that employees matter for success. They seem to worry too much about finding efficiencies and believe the key to success is the right business processes.
