"A job at a big company is like high fructose corn syrup: it has some of the qualities of things you're meant to like, but is disastrously lacking in others."

"An obstacle downstream propagates upstream. If you're not allowed to implement new ideas, you stop having them. And vice versa: when you can do whatever you want, you have more ideas about what to do. So working for yourself makes your brain more powerful in the same way a low-restriction exhaust system makes an engine more powerful."

I've never had a job at a small company although I've interviewed for them. Small Companies (in the IT world that is) tend to work you hard and give you a fair portion of your pay in bonus. In the bigger firms base pay can be higher but with smaller bonuses and if you're back office the hours can be very amenable to an outside life.
As a family man I sure appreciate the lack of high pressure in the employ of my particular big company.
