Do big digital outfits all still split creative and front end dev into two jobs? Are they starting to merge together?
I know a lot of smaller places you need to do both, but how about big agencies?

Bigger = more specialized jobs

Big digital agencies — if they aren't spawned from old-school advertising and design shops outright — tend to have a lot of traditional media people at the very top (both creatives and business handling), and so also tend to follow a lot of the traditional media job types, structures and processes. For better or for worse.

Any mid-large I've worked in it's very rare for designers to code at all beyond Juniors doing basic AS for banners.

Bigger outfits = bigger clients = bigger projects = charge more for projects = more bs work and meetings to justify prices = more employees = more specialized jobs = checks and balances = too many employees = too many people doing boring work = easier jobs = more fun workplace.

even small ones, in my experience, split it up.
