Ugh, I hate that SMS is conflated with Hangouts as it is. It causes notifications for work-related chat to get mixed in with notifications for personal text messages on my phone. Can anyone suggest alternative SMS clients for Android?

"but the amount of day-to-day personal autonomy people have over their own work and careers is often less in the startups"

That might be true if you work for a shitty, tyrannical founder. In my experience, a good startup will recognize that they need employees to be relatively autonomous and self-sufficient, simply because the higher ups don't have time to babysit. Startups lack the resources for multiple levels of engineering managers, and therefore shouldn't hire people that they don't trust to be autonomous.
