I once worked at a very small defense contractor. The company was about 12 people plus the owner. I joined when I was 30, and I was the third-youngest employee. The second-youngest was born in the same month of the same year as me, and I never got to really interact with the youngest. Everyone else was in their 30s to 50s. Unfortunately, I (along with a third of the company) got laid off a year and a quarter in, but working there was an interesting experience. I had so many interesting conversations with my coworkers. And the owner of that company is a university professor (full professor, not an associate) with two PhDs and a very impressive academic background.
