Currently working at big (>25,000 global staff) company, with professional history of small (<200) companies Big pros: Better work-life balance, slower pace, opportunities to switch roles internally, great benefits, stable pay, strong career move. Big cons: Occasionally frustratingly slow due to processes, harder for upward movement past a certain point, impossible to adopt newer tech due to internal restrictions Small pros: Exciting day-to-day, younger and more enthusiastic employees, get to work on cutting/bleeding edge tech, more opportunities to really stand out. Small cons: Atmosphere largely dictated by boss' mood, volatile and unpredictable work life, worse work-life balance, greater pressure to keep up or get out, worse pay and benefits. Based in Northeast US, not New York.
