The companies for 3 are critical to understanding position level, which makes the levels and titles somewhat meaningless.
I know a number of people that even after normalizing for the actual responsibilities and company still get more senior roles than they should at "medium" level companies. As Fluffy said, it's stressful, constantly worried about getting fired, in a an environment of layoffs, constantly worried about being the lowest performing midlevel/senior on the team.
I feel extremely strongly this is something to avoid and will happily debate their outcomes advisor publicly about this.
(EDIT: From a Facebook, Google, Amazon, perspective) I'm very biased because all junior people I know who were under leveled and out performed had amazing careers and received disproportinately large stock grant bonuses, and the people who were over leveled were managed out or fired within 1 to 4 years, had no career progression, and were unhappy.
