A problem I've noticed working at larger companies is complexity simply for the sake of demonstrating complexity. In order to demonstrate technical prowess or importance, engineers will push a project in terms of headcount, solution, etc.
Good engineering can look simple. The best engineers I've worked with will make things look easy. This can be at odds with promo driven culture.
