I would prefer to work for a large firm (and I do). There is a much better chance for job mobility, benefits, and transfers to other locations within the company. I worked for another large firm in the 1990s, and was able to transfer between Boston and San Francisco offices quite easily. Try that with a smaller firm. :o) Oh, and try tens of thousands of employees, and you'll be closer to the firms I have worked for.

I prefer to work for larger companies msotly for the fact that there are usually alot more benefits to working for larger companies along with usually alot less accountability. For example I worked for a small Hospitality Management Company and worked my butt off to keep the company running smoothly, now I am working for a national company and have learned that in larger companies 10 people do the job I once had to share the work load and make things run smoothly instead of trying to do it all myslef. I took my first vacation this year which I was never able to do before and I actually have time for an outside work life... It's great!

I would prefer to work for a large company, but in a small satellite office for them. Working in a small office you get the sense of family and make close friendships while having the benefits that only a large company can provide. Great insurance, good pay, room for growth and stability At a small company the benefits are not there as much. There might not be any heath benefits, lower pay and the company itself might just fold to a larger competitor.

There are advantages to both. It's easier to get your hard recognized at a smaller company, but it's harder to get properly compensated for all of the work that you do. Most employees of smaller compaies wear too many hats and perform a lot of work that they aren't compensated for. Smaller companies are not able to offer benefits on the same scale as larger companies due to their deminished buying power. I think larger companies are always the smarter career choice, if it's a career that you're looking for. If, however, you're only going to be in the job market for a few years, the atmosphere of a lot of small companies can be very appealing.

Small companies are great (under 50 employees) but are unstable. That said, I've worked for all sorts and sized companies and hands down the best was American Express; a Fortune 50 company with thousands upon thousands of employees.

Small. I joined my previous company when it was at about 40 employees and was with them as they grew to 300. My current company is also 300. I just don't want to work for a company so large that I'm just a number.

It depends on the income if I could make a lot of money working for a small company I would, but usually larger companies can afford higher salaries for their employees.
