I would think you would do well at small companies or startups. You have more freedom to design the system there. Many big companies have overbearing policies or "cookie cutter" template architectures you have to follow.

In a smaller company you can also have more of an impact on solving whatever the business problem is. Selecting a company with interesting business problems could be good for you too (maybe fintech).

I know I am fed up with the big company politics/policies and boring business problems. I can't quit since I have a family to support. So I guess another piece of advice is to stay single so you have more freedom and options to change and move.
