I'm a Large Companies guy making transition to a Startup guy now.
What I learnt from Large Companies.
- The way they price their software is by far the most creative. There is these core components which you pay $X for. Then for feature A, you pay $X+1. For feature B, you pay $X+2, etc. And of course you'll give you a discount for being first customer.
And installation & support hours are separate cost components, etc. At the end of the day, it really really really add up.
- Multinational work culture. You will work with counterparts from various countries, etc. Much like a Startup too if you are hiring remote workers. You'll have a good idea how to work different culture & style.
These are 2 main benefits working in Large Companies. In terms of coding, I learnt from the folks sharing their codes at github, and open source communities; unit testing, continuous integration, etc.
At the end of the day, it is what you want to achieve?
ps: The monthly pay check in a Large Companies can really put in a comfort zone mode.
