My experience might not match others but honestly I would recommend avoiding this trap. It's just compromise and disappointment all the way up. Then you'll be blamed for anything that goes wrong despite only 15% of your plan being accepted by executives. If the company culture is different and fosters leadership instead of stifling it then maybe it could work. At the end of the day you're probably still going to be making someone else's dreams come true until you start your own company.
