That might be true. My only inside experiences with large ones are American: the Ohio State University (over 30,000 employees) and Aetna (maybe 50,000 employees) but of both those rather impressed me. Hardly enough of a sample to rebut your suggestion!
Okay, so there were oddnesses: for instance, at Aetna my supervisor needed to apply in writing to allow Firefox onto my company laptop (I was working on web applications!), but it happened with little fuss and much speed so it wasn't frustratingly obstructive.
We have maybe sixty guests or so coming for a conference in one of the main function buildings in a couple of weeks and apparently it may not be "viable" for them to use the wifi …: In defense of the University of Dundee, today I wandered down to that building and tried the wifi for those with UoD accounts and also for eduroam and both worked seamlessly and with much the same authentication settings as for the School of Life Sciences wifi. I'd been sufficiently doubtful to actually make the trip but perhaps I oughtn't be so faithless. Guest wifi's another matter still, of course.
