I worked in a startup lab within a huge multinational company. In many ways it felt like a startup because we had very limited runway to incubate and commercialize our ideas, so that definitely put the fire under our feet.
Despite an effort to firewall us from the larger organization the culture and processes of the mothership always seemed to leak in and contaminate the organic startup flows. Additionally a large organization is extremely risk averse unlike a real startup and this manifests itself in a multitude of ways.
