Which is typically a symptom of having worked at a start-up vs. an established company.

During the dot-com crash, I went from working at a 40 person start-up to a 25,000 employee utility company, and it was a real eye opener. A lot of my "cutting edge" (for the time) skills were dismissed as being flash in the pan, and all the "real work" was done with tried and trued technologies. I ended up finding my way back to a start-up a few years later, and everything was reversed again.
