Everyone in the Bay Area knows Google is a retirement home and FB is where you go to join a team that is 20% high-performance, 40% normal, and 40% low-performance-never-fired. It's like the standard story of a group project in university (though all my group projects had hotshots I'd gladly work with).
But this seems like it's inevitable at larger companies. I recall at one such company someone told a friend of mine that one project was going to take 29 months or something to execute. That company had a realistic 6 months to justify their stock price at the time. It cratered 75% - and this was not a COVID boost situation.
