I’ve worked at about 10 companies and half of them didn’t have the soul sucking processes (though all of them did have process).

The correlation I see is big companies have processes that kill productivity, though I did work for a big company that was able to avoid it for a long time (new leadership did end up killing productivity right before I left).

And for what it’s worth there was no correlation with “agile”. I’ve seen good and bad agile.
