"I work at a startup for the small team size, for the massive impact you make as an individual, for the team building experience, the hard times and the good." I have that at a large company. My team owns a project, we have 3 devs, an architect, a QA, and a team lead. We even get to meet our customers, though as it's an internal project, for another business unit, 'people signing up' isn't quite as meaningful. But you get to see people whose jobs suddenly become much easier and the excitement that can cause.
