It can be great if you have things you want to do that most companies don’t come up by themselves.

Basically if you’re in a “Shut up and hire me!” mode and will self-manage and come up with what others also need to do. I find it tiring, but some people thrive in these roles.

I enjoy this, the problem is often that key people don't actually want to change, or the core issue is somehow intractable.

Story of my entire 25 year career, right there.

That said; I've tended to look for small companies, or companies that are in startup mode, where roles do not seem very rigid, and boundaries between teams are not so impenetrable.

I tend to be miserable where roles are rigid, or the culture does not encourage cross-fertilization between teams.
