If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

What's the pros and cons of working for small companies vs large corporations?
I have always worked for small companies all my life, and now I've been approached by someone at a pretty large company.
So I would like to know more about your experiences in how they differ as a work environment.
|
|
|
|
|
The biggest difference is larger companies are generally set in their ways. There are more departments and more red tape. Smaller companies tend to be more about personality, may need someone to be a bit of a jack of all trades in their work just to get things done. Larger companies are more formal in that you do your job and that's it.
Both have their strengths. In my experience I believe you have to play the politics game a bit more in larger companies but YMMV.

If you don't mind (or even like) being a small spoke on a big wheel then a big company is best. In small companies you may find yourself doing professionally distasteful things if they find you not absolutely swamped in work like breaking up cardboard shipping boxes.
I speak from experience.
I now run a mom n' pop service and consulting shop up high high high in the Colorado Rockies.
It don't get much smaller than that. We've been at it for 21 years now.
I break up the cardboard boxes with glee as they are mine now and run her Labrador twice a week.

Just to have fun and play devil's advocate, I've also had down time in small companies. And larger ones too.
Cardboard boxes weren't my go-to. It was all about the kitchen cleaning. Apparently the cleaning ladies could not keep up with 100+ IT people junking up the place. Good times.

Well, jack of all trades is me, and politics is not a strong point of mine. I tend to be honest which isn't particularily appreciated. People may tell you differently, but they lie.

Yah I don't do politics at all and I'm in one of the biggest companies in Singapore, I found honesty and bluntness keeps me completely out of politics.
Always tell the truth about the situation in the office (your IT policies suck, if I don't get admin rights you don't get any solution).
I prefer small companies, more flexible, more varied work and if the people ore interesting the job is fun. I work for a large company because I'm a tart, I do it for the money!

I've worked for big: UK government research places, and small: just the three of us.
And in the middle, as well.
Now there is just me.
There are advantages and disadvantages to all of them.
The bigger it is, the more secure you are: they aren't generally going to go bust tomorrow. And you get a clear career progression, and "regular" salary increments.
But... You can't make decisions. Everything has to be cleared upwards, until it's to damn late to make the changes.
The smaller it is, the more at risk it is of closing tomorrow: been there, done that. A customer goes bust, you can't make the wages, it all goes pear shaped. It gets nasty sometimes. And yes, you end up doing things that aren't strictly your job - picking up a soldering iron and wading in, or cleaning the loo...
But... If there's a problem, you can fix it. And everybody knows it was needed, because they understand and are invested in the project. Or you can sit on the right guys desk and talk at him until he realises you are serious...
Me? Big is a problem: to much sh*t to eat before you can get things done.
Small works for me!
