I know enough people at Apple who are at the mercy of the overlord design teams, and it sounds exactly like what you described

I've met some great designers as well. They usually come from more modest backgrounds.

It's kinda the rule for programmes too.

The ones that went to a small liberal arts school you've never heard of programming as their second career are usually more effective to work with then the Stanford/MIT crowd.

The problems start I think, when you have an expectation that your collaborators are somehow either superhuman or subhuman and not peers.

Humility and mutual respect gets things done.
