This is true. The worst micromanager I have worked for was at a big company. The same big company also had a different department that sounded really quite good and modern.

My experience has been that bigger companies mean more bureaucracy though.

A good manager will always do their best to make every situation a win-win, or a compromise at the very least. And micromanagement is rarely a useful method. While it is obvious that managers and decision-makers first need to know as much as possible about whats going on projects, so micromanaging as a social phenomenon poses more problems than it solves.
