>It sounds to me like the author would rather work for a big multinational instead of a startup. Most people in the startup scene, especially those who found care about their future a lot. In a weird sense probably even more than people working in the big multinationals. In a startup I co-founded in Berlin, 2 of my co-founders matched the negative stereotype described in the article and in the comments very well. Ironically they cared a lot about their personal development. Already one month after working fulltime on the project my one co-founder indirectly (="nicely") threatened to leave the company. Eventually he left 1.5 years later, the other co-founder left as well, making the startup fail. I want to try my luck again some day, but definitely not with people who only care about their own development and not about that of others.
