One thing that hasn’t been mentioned is that it’s not clear overall you are biased in favour of the org you work for based on experience—you also know everything that’s bad which isn’t obvious to outsiders. I usually have a more negative view of things I’m more familiar with (though try to debias by realising everything I don’t know well is probably bad in ways I can’t see as well).
That’s clearly true as well. There is strong conventional wisdom to essentially ‘never meet your heroes’. My personal experience is that going to actually work with an organization tends to lower one’s level of attraction and enamoring for that organization.
