Not to justify the policy, but at some point maybe big companies don't NEED as much "top talent" as big companies tend to eventually have less innovation, get process heavy and so on?

Less innovation is a result of having less "top talent", so how would you justify the cause by the effect?

		I think innovation starts with policies and leadership that allow for it. Big companies get process heavy and often simply wouldn't allow it to occur anyway. "We're going to be super innovative, now go get 8 non technical manager's approval!" It doesn't matter how innovative your people are at that point. Sometimes it's just the volume of people in the mix who can hold things up... big companies just have more opportunity for people to stifle innovation even if just out of misunderstanding, ignorance, etc.
