Eh, I find this gross.

It seems like the premise is "To succeed in bureaucratic companies you must become a bureaucrat".

But what I witness is every company that becomes beureacratic dies. And it dies to smaller companies that do more/better with a thousandth the headcount. And I see this natural selection as a good thing.

Maybe if your only goal is to be the vulture sucking money out of a terminal dinosaur these are good skills to adapt. But I think it's better to join a place that isn't lost to meaningless metrics and do work that's valuable to the customer and explain it to other humans in human ways (with a reasonable amount of measurement).
