Startups vs Big Companies

Hey Flexiple Member,

Working as an engineer at Amazon and Adobe taught me:
Titles & perks are meaningless if you don’t like your work.

I wanted my career to:
→ drive me forward
→ challenge me to grow
→ help me make a real impact

But I didn’t get this in the MNCs I had joined.
Finally, when I started Flexiple did I get the work satisfaction I was looking for.

This taught me a valuable lesson: the startup vs big company choice isn’t just about your next role but one that impacts your entire career.

And it gets worse when you make this choice on “gut” feeling.

So, my team and I spoke to 21 top engineers from both sides including companies like Airbnb, Stripe, and Microsoft.

And through these conversations, I learned 3 insightful factors that could help guide your decision.

We’ve compiled it all in our report: “Startups vs Big Companies”
