What can one learn in a corporate environment that is worth the trouble?

[NoPainNoGain]

Hello fellow posters.

For those who have spent a decent amount of time in corporate jobs:

Is there something of value that you can learn in a corporate environment that you cannot learn when attempting a startup?

What have you learned in your corporate experience that helped you in your fastlane career?

Slightly off topic: In my very brief contact with the corporate world, there is one thing I found VERY annoying: there is this type of manager that not only expects respect, which is basic etiquette for a normal and adjusted human being, but he actually wants you to act submissive and pay deference to him, and can get very pissed if you just don´t. What a huge turnoff.
