@CaptainRant a small company usually means less obnoxious hierarchy...
I think that hierarchy is a two based sword.
It makes sense as long as everyone can raise their voice.
And that's rarely how hierarchy is handled in larger companies.
It's more: be obedient and get paid, no matter what brainfucked clustershit we expect you to do.
And with that I have an _major_ issue. -
@IntrusionCM Indeed. I've worked in another small company before and there it was Mr. favorite developer gets a say in everything and the rest gets to stfu, which also wasn't right.
I love it when I have full ownership. <3
I prefer a small company with good interpersonal bonds rather than a large company full of pretentious, obnoxious and disconnected co-workers.
I've been in both situations and the first one definitely beat the second one for me. Lunch at a large company.. shudders.. what a nightmare: forced topics, bullying, disconnect, bragging,.. Then again, small companies aren't innocent either; I've been to a crappy one too. It all depends on the people and how down-to-earth they are.
My two cents.
