Great answer. Could Steve Jobs himself succeed at a company like Apple as an employee? I doubt it. But that is the question.

Jobs could not have succeeded as an employee anywhere. It's just the way he was wired.

They created at Atari a night shift just for him (he was the only employe of this team) to do the same work than the others. This answers the question.
