#有人说: "Never go to work at a small company. Do you agree with this statement and why? #
Xiao Zhou, the child of a relative' family, is a fresh graduate in 2022, he has a bachelor's degree, the school is ordinary, and he does not intend to go to graduate school, and when thinking about the future employment enterprise, he began to have some entanglements.
Because their basic conditions are not dominant, if you want to apply for a large company, it is very difficult to admit. But when I go to work in a small company, my friends and classmates around me don't agree with me.
A brother in Xiao Zhou's bedroom directly advised him: Don't go to work in a small company.
He was very conflicted in his heart, knowing that I was engaged in career planning, he wanted to hear my opinion. I make three observations on this.
Why many people in the workplace are rejected by the development of small companies is mainly related to the disadvantages of small companies themselves.
Here are a few brief examples:
First, the business scale of small companies is small, and the ability to resist risks is weak.
This was very obvious when the epidemic occurred last year, and once there is a crisis, small companies do not have the advantage of funds and can easily survive.
Second, the management of small companies is not standardized.
Enterprises with small-scale personnel will basically not have the same clear process and sound system as large companies.
I also worked briefly in a small company that didn't even have a basic salary performance system, and how to issue year-end bonuses was entirely decided by the boss patting his head.
Third, small companies lack resources.
Because of the size of small companies, even if their business develops rapidly, it is difficult for employees to reach heavyweight projects.
For example, in engineering, large companies are doing large-scale engineering projects, and small companies basically have no way to compete.
The fundamental reason for this situation is that the company has insufficient resources and can only meet the needs of employee growth within limited conditions.
Having said that, we must also see the advantages of small companies.
For example, if you enter a small company, your boss is likely to let you have multiple jobs and multiple positions.
While this kind of work may seem more arduous, the exercise of personal ability is all-round. Compared with making a stable screw in a large company, small companies give people a broader imagination.
In addition, the personnel of small companies is not large, and the interpersonal relationships within small companies are simpler than those of large groups or listed companies.
I used to have a good friend who only went to a small company after he was over 35 years old, and he just couldn't stand the strange corporate culture of some large companies.
The more capable people are, the more they want to put more energy into their work.
Whether a freshman like Xiao Zhou is suitable for going to a small company or a large company, I don't think there is a standard answer.
When I first graduated, I also started from the development of a small company, and then I jumped to a large group, worked for many years, and finally came out to start a business, still returning to the original point to start over.
And some of my friends, after graduation, entered a large multinational company, and many years later they also came out to open a company to do it alone.
It seems that our careers are not exactly the same, but in the end we have come to a common path.
So, from my point of view. Whether you go to a small company to develop or go to a large company to work, you have your own advantages and disadvantages, the key is to see what you need to get more at this stage.
If it is to pursue resumes and gold plating, then obviously large companies are a better choice. But if you want to get all-round growth in ability, finding a small company with potential seems to be more worth looking forward to.
"Never go to a small company", the phrase is not so objective and accurate.
Although the sparrow is small and complete, it has entered a small company, as long as you dare to fight, you can break out of the world.
