Big or Small Company

Several people ponder working for a big or small company.

Chris / England
speakerI suppose there are advantages to both, working for a small company, you might have more space and more time to work on projects that you're interested in, but a big company, I suppose, you might think, you have more job security, so on balance I think I'd prefer to work for a big company, but I've worked for small companies in the past and there was a bit more freedom involved in those jobs.

Aki / Japan
speakerActually, I want to try working in a big company. The first job I got, it quite a small company. There were only about maybe one thousand people and my department only had about six people in it and it was quite small. I had to work under the president which was quite stressful so, if I work in a bigger company, I guess I don't really have to work under the president and go under all that stress.

Prae / Thailand
speakerFor now I think I would like to work for a big company because I'm really new to the working ... because I'm a newly graduate and I think it would be nice to learn all the system in the big company first.

Matthew / England
speakerI've worked for big companies and for small companies and they all have their own problems but in general I prefer working for small companies.

Lori / Canada
speakerWell, I'd rather have my own business to be honest, but if I had to choose between a big company and a small company, I think I'd prefer a small one because I think if you work for a big company often you get lost in the shuffle and you become just a number rather than a real person, so if I had to choose, I'd go with the small one.

Eoin / England
speakerI used to think that a small company would be a much nicer environment to work in but having actually worked for a small company, now I'm much more in favor of a big companies and standard working hours and standard working conditions.
