unicornnews: It's great working for big or small

So, should you work for a big multi-national, or a little five-man outfit? It’s a decision many graduates have to make when they start looking for that first job, and obviously both have pros and cons.

The Guardian recently looked into the whole thing and discovered, perhaps unsurprisingly, that people working for small companies tend to have more passion for their job, presumably because they have a wider remit and more varied areas of responsibility.

However, on the downside, a job in a small company can lead to employees making bigger mistakes because you have less support, and you get better training in a large company.

Obviously, in reality it’s really down to your personality as to whether you’ll fit in best at a big firm or an SME (small to medium-sized enterprise). For a more detailed discussion on it all you can check the Guardian article here
