This is a great article! I would add to the general discussion here that some big tech companies will surprise you in terms of culture.
I joined a small but rapidly growing team at Amazon and it feels very different from my previous corporate job. I’m wearing many hats, learning lots of different technologies, and in many cases driving initiatives in a way I didn’t expect.
I was expecting a lot more red tape, meetings, silos and bureaucracy and thankfully that has not yet been the case.
Even still, I’m not suggesting that the feeling of accomplishment would compare to building your own company. This article was informative to me should I ever go that route.
