Nice section, just discovered it.
Well nowadays only BIG COMPANIES don't matter anymore, cuz they r facing BIGGER problems as u r aware
CompAddict:
Sure bigger companies are facing large problems due to the economy...but they have grown big over a period of time because they have performed well and created high value for its clients and taken care of its employees...
Guess its a temporary phase and large companies also need to be careful to tide over the tough phase.....
but surely whether the company is large or small is only one of the factors....there should be many more factors one should look at before joining a firm !
very valid point dream catcher ..... you can have more visibility in a small organization..... but do consider this aspect:
How many tiers/ranks are there in the ladder !!
Typically in large organizations there are very many tiers in the ladder....Team sizes are larger too.....
In smaller organizations, there are less no. of tiers and team sizes are smaller.....
Clearly being CEO of some xyz small company would be less valuable than being the CEO of a larger branded company.
Advantage in a smaller company would be that you may have more freedom to express, implement and give shape to the direction and quantum of growth of the organization....Large organizations typically have a momentum and pre-set path since lot of planning happens ahead of time...
so truly both has its pros and cons i guess....
