lots of great employers are not VC funded startups (personally I avoid them like some plague)
more generally even non-VC funded startups can be horribly pressurised environments in which to work where you are expected to hit the ground running and wear all of the hats.
juniors in particular, imo, should be encouraged into more well established environments so that they can learn how to work in the industry in a comfortable, low pressure, environment.
i know that is partly the idea of what education should provide, but my experience is that it seems to churn out engineers who then require real world training to become valuable employees, rather than people who can hit the ground running.
