Jobs

Have been working for around 6 years now , mostly with early stage startups (seed to series C)
I have observed  rampant favouritism ,sycophancy and politics at play 

Is there any way to avoid it ?

Even in early stage companies , once the number of employees reach the higher side these things start to happen  1/n

What is the way out ?
At this point one thing is sure that people won’t stop doing this 

I just want to make good products and solve problems , why do people have to add sycophancy and politics into this ?


And no changing jobs is not the way
Have done that already 2/n

Agreed. There's likely a dunbar limit as to how big a company can scale before sycophancy and politics seep in. 
My theory is that it's so engrained within most work environments that it's hard to shake unless it's specifically called out and kept in check from the top down.

The flip side is that if a company were to position themselves by specifically saying that’s not how they do business, it would likely attract a lot of talent. 
Personally believe it’s only realistic achievable in small and mid size companies, but possible nonetheless.

Agree with you 
Calling out is difficult and people usually prefer moving to another company rather than calling it out 

Also calling it out may lead to other issues too
