Enterprise web development (or any enterprise development) has always been dehumanizing. It´s the vertical organizational model applied to software development. The enterprise implementation of Agile is just the vertical model in new clothes (status meetings disguised as daily meetings, story points used for stack-ranking, etc). When you enter the enterprise you trade leverage for job stability and 9-to-5 working hours.
Startups and mid or small sized niche companies are a little more human. But here you tend to get long working hours and more stress, plus sometimes they are also "vertical".
