I agree with this from experience. I worked at a startup for about 2 years and when they exited, it was a horrible exit for me. I made $30k in the sale. I got a $15k bonus my first year with the next company, plus I had so many other benefits of being at a larger company.
Work-life balance is not great at most startups and you're expected to not ask questions about it.
Larger companies, it's always touted that they're better about work-life balance, and after being in larger companies for the past 2-3 years, it's been apparent my stress has gone down while still being productive!
