I like working on high impact projects, and the scale enterprise achieves is much better for this, 50-250 million dollar projects with hundreds of thousands to millions of impacted people
I also like having a dedicated role with responsibilities. From my observations, startups often have a "we all help out" mindset required when the company isn't big enough for structure, and unless the leaders/founders put a bottle on the chaos, it can be a toxic environment very quickly
There is always a lot of excitement in a startup operation. Creativity is encouraged usually.
I have a preference for established companies due to factors such as job security, competitive compensation, and the potential for growth, especially when there is a competent management team. The association with a well-known brand also contributes to building a strong global identity.
Although startups can be appealing with their passion-driven approach, I still lean towards established firms for the aforementioned reasons.
