Put another way, you'll learn much more about how to identify and work with talented people on difficult projects at Google than at a startup. At a startup you're worried about how you'll pack a bologna sandwich for lunch tomorrow, at Google you're a sous chef for a 5 star banquet hall in NYC.

I think it goes both ways. There are plenty mundane things at BigCo for people to do.

I've done both extremes, and you're absolutely right, but the point still stands no matter how many cases we can find that might hint at the opposite :)
