Advertising: Friend, not Foe!
They say advertising is excessive: it interrupts TV series, preceding movie shows and dominating music award ceremonies.

Less form filling, policies and procedures

Flatter management structure, more involvement from all levels in business decisions

Small companies - the bad!

• You run the risk of becoming a "Jack of all trades" or becoming only valuable to this employer
• If the company is suffering, your pay packet may suffer as well
• Any personal issues can become impossible to deal with in a small environment
• Lack of procedures and formalised chains of escalation or management can be a challenge to some people
• There may be a lack of career path, you may be stifled from moving forwards by other long term employees

Large companies - the good!

• You may have the opportunity to specialise your skills
• Regular performance reviews, HR department ensures this
• Opportunity to buy into company (share offerings), subsidised cafes, childcare, gym etc
• Formalised and entrenched policies and procedures (this can be good or bad!)
• Normally clear channels of management and escalation points

Large companies - the bad!

• At the end of the day no matter what they say you are a number. The way to prove this when you fill out a leave form, if you need to place your employee number on it, then you are a number.. sorry!
• More risk of redundancy, when the shareholders demand profits, jobs can be culled
• There can be alot of gossip and backstabbing going on that is at a level not seen in smaller environments
• To many forms and procedures to follow, having a day off may not be worth the administrative effort
• It may be hard to be noticed by the real decision makers of the company, and be destined to a future of working for someone that takes all the credit for your efforts

Please remember these are not hard and fast rules, and are only things I have picked up over many years working for both small and large companies, in more than one industry. I myself prefer to work for a large company, although have had good exp
