Business Outlook
Pros
You might be competing with hundreds of candidates for a position at a large company. Small businesses tend to get fewer applications, giving great resumes room to make their way to the top of the pile. Friendly environment.
Cons
Small business usually can’t afford the kind of top-of-the-line software and equipment that bigger companies can. They can’t get volume discounts on these purchases and are operating on a smaller overall budget. You’re also unlikely to get invited to a lavish company holiday party in a fancy art museum — the resources just aren’t there. In my experience, smaller companies seem to be more focused on work product and less focused on impressive perks.
