Startup vs Big Company | Pro’s & Con’s of Working in a Startup vs Working for a Big Company

Startup vs Big Company | Pro’s & Con’s of Working in a Startup vs Working for a Big Company // If you work in tech, at some point you are going to ask yourself: I take a startup job (and live that startup life), or would I be better off working for a big company? Working in a startup is different on so many levels from a big company - so let;s about about startup vs corporate life. I’ve worked for big tech companies and spent the last few years of my corporate career working in a tech startup (actually with a few tech startups). I’m going to break down life in a startup vs big company, including startup culture vs corporate culture and the upsides and downsides of each. If you are considering offers or career paths and need help deciding between a big tech company vs startup you’re in the right place!

Which size company do you prefer working for?

[izamalcadosa]

I've worked at both: Apple, Inc., Samsung Electronics and Google (Super Big Tech) and Grind Reel (Start-Up). Big Tech you can't really think outside the boss and use all of your tech skills or new acquired skills. Start-up, you can think outside the box, create your own processes, learn on your own and experiment with new ideas.

This was an excellent overview! Really appreciate you taking the time to make this video.

[MayraYPerez]

I really enjoyed the video, so informative.

[ErikErikson]

Great video! This should have more views.

I come from a military background, so strict structure and protocols are a must at any company I work at. Worked 2 years at a Startup and will never do it, again!

This video was so enjoyable to watch and helpful, particularly for me because am currently applying for an Internship as I conclude my Master's program.

startup sounds to me like tons of unpaid overtime. which means no life outside work.

also depending on the company there maybe an inner circle or old guard. those people are kept fully up to date and are included in all conversations.

I've been working for Big Companies for almost 15yrs. Some great, some worse than a startup. Just recently got offer from a Startup, 4yrs in business, got $26M in Round B funding 6 months ago. Offering me 44% pay increase, 100% paid Health benefits, stock options. Their exit plan is IPO. Any more specific advice or ideas? Lol

[MannyLoxx]

I worked at a startup from 2015-2017! Will never do it, again!

There is pros and cons with both. Smaller companies have a nicer feel, but might be too close knit. Larger companies, better staff benefits, disadvantages are can be soulless
