It's exactly this situation that made me leave a large company after only 5 weeks. I'd come from a smaller, more agile environment and having to go through multiple layers of process and bullshit just to get the simplest thing done was just too much for me.
I know 100% that if I'd have stayed there I would have ended up hating my job and affecting my passion for writing code.
The main situation I remember is a code review of a few lines I'd written kept on being rejected by some of the more process-indoctrinated programmers purely because I didn't use the correct type of verb in the first sentence describing my change! I mean, when that is the shit that matters and not solutions to problems, I'm out.
