> A couple weeks later I happened to talk to a VP up his chain of command, and mentioned this to him, and he chuckled and said "oh yeah that's by design, I'd rather have internal competition than external, it's worth the cost". Was a good reminder for me to avoid large companies.
I had the exact same interaction with a VPish person. The concern in my tone didn't even register with him. He said, let them all build, and may the best tool/service/library win. There is no such thing as healthy competition; it always tends to get vicious and ends up really badly for one of the teams.
