I was denied a request to present, because my head of security didn't want to risk telling the world about my project. Now, they allow presentations, but I have no enthusiasm to present. Making it difficult has a lasting impact.
LP has a history of problems, but my company forces us to use that crappy product. I've complained about it for years. I use keepassx for personal, 1password for work, and lastpass for anything that I need to share with coworkers. I always wondered who got the kickback from LP.
In my experience, only the founders of startups make any money. If the startup is successful, then the founders walk away with millions. Everyone else would be financially better off if they worked for a large company instead.
Also, the executives of the startups take free trips and expense everything on the company's dollar. While the employees receive low pay.
I don't think the large companies are winning. The startups are killing themselves.
I've worked at multiple startups and feel it isn't worth the effort. The execs always make out and everyone else doesn't make it worth their effort. The compensation will be better when working at established companies.
