This is not necessarily true. "Bigger" does not mean "more stable." Big companies like Netflix did layoffs just now; meanwhile there are plenty of small companies that are profitable and doing great. A friend of mine runs a profitable startup (~50 people). A few months ago, a candidate turned them down to join a 500+ person well-funded company that seemed more stable–that company is now bankrupt, while my friend's startup is continuing to grow.
