If anything, the reverse seems to be true, if you want to work on something big, you want to be in a small company, sufficiently funded, filled with great people, yet not "big", that's when "something big" seems to be more likely to happen.
In contrast, as far as I can think, the bigger a company gets, the less likely they are to actually come up with "something big", it seems like most of the times you need (creative) constraints in order for the results to end up being actually innovative, otherwise you end up like IBM and Meta, throwing money on stuff and getting some results, but nothing really out of the ordinary considering what's happening elsewhere in their ecosystems.
