Maybe you mean startups? There are lots of small companies that pay very competitively and have great benefits. There are big companies where the pay and benefits are terrible along with forced OT or on call. I have worked at both.
I will take the small company over the big every single time, because in the small I have always been able to enact change to make things better (going as far as getting them to change the retirement provider to another one with better fund options). In a big company, even when it is clear there are problems, it can be almost impossible to push changes through.
