Do you want to work for a big or a small company?

Throughout my working years, I have worked will all types of companies, from companies of only few employees to large multi-national companies.

Each company, large or small, has its own advantages and disadvantages; your decision to work for one company or another depends on your personality and your career goals.

After graduating from college, I was looking for a job, like most of us, with major companies in my field, we all wanted the benefits and prestige that comes with working at large corporations. But over the years and after I got more experience, I started to feel that working in the large and bureaucratic corporate environment acted as a road block in seeing my ideas implemented.

Large companies may give you job security and higher pay, but, in most cases, it won’t give you the chance to innovate and see your ideal implemented.

For the last 8 years, I have been either working for myself or working with small firms, I had a strong desire to see my ideas implemented and I was only able to do that by either working for myself or working for a small firm.

It all depends on your goals, if job security and higher pay is more important to you, than large corporations are the place to work and if you like more freedom to innovate and see your ideas implemented than go for small business.
