To be fair, when you need to hire hundreds or thousands of people, you gotta hire average people. The best is a finite resource and not all of the best want to work for FAANG or any megacorp.
I used to want to work at a FAANG-like company when I was just starting out thinking they were going to be full of amazing devs. But over the years, I've seen some of the worst devs go to these companies so that just destroyed that illusion. And the more you hear about the sort of work they do, it just sounds boring compared to startups.
