I am a forester who knows nothing about coding… Why is all that industry experience with big company’s a red flag? That’s exactly who I would look to hire to bring blue chip experience to my small outfit

My understanding is these requirements were for a top tier startup and experience at certain "slow" big companies can create behaviors that don't do well at startups. There are always exceptions and this is quite the generalization but that's why they are on the list. At startups you have to deal with ambiguities daily.
