Small Corporation or Large Corporation?

Choosing between a small or large corporation for an employer really depends on the individual’s priority. There are two ways to look at it, if you are after a better chance of promotion I will say that it is better to be in a small organization where your assertiveness can easily be seen and rewarded. To work in a large corporation means having to compete with a lot of people who have the same aim which is towards career progression. One’s initiative is quite more visible and gets easily rewarded in small organizations than in the large ones. On one hand, if you are after job security, better salary, and attractive benefits, I would definitely say choose the large corporation. However, choosing to work with a these giants may mean waiting for a lifetime to get the promotion that you have been waiting for, unless of course you start at a managerial level wherein you will have a say to most things.

The best advice that I can share to the younger ones who are fairly new in the industry is to set a career goal and start in a small organization where you can shine and be visible until you reach your goal. Upon reaching this certain goal and contributing to the organization explore the opportunities with a larger organization. Therefore you would not have to start at the lowest level in a big organization where visibility is almost impossible.
