Yes indeed, these are the things on the other hand which aren't working well in my opinion:

- large codebase

- complex domain knowledge

- creating any feature where you need product insights

- tasks requiring choices (again, complexity doesn't matter here, the task may be simple but require some choices)

- anything unclear where you don't know where you are going first

While you don't experience any of these when teaching or side projects, these are very common in any enterprise context.
