I worked at a big company, after 16 years they let me and many of my coworkers go. I ended up at a late stage start up. They were starting to become more "corporate". Now I work at an early stage start up. They actually care. I am not sure I will ever take a job with a company that is publicly traded again.

My plan, if I leave the massive corporate entity I'm currently at is to find work at a place with 2 digit employee numbers.

Trying to get the right things done at a huge company makes government burocracy look like a model of efficiency.

Internally they're all like, "why can't we work like a startup?"...partially because of you, Mr. Senior VP of golden parachutes.
