So much this.
After 14 years in a workforce, my happiest moments were in software SMB (joined at 10 people and left at around 100).
Never felt like work. We were just building something cool together as a team on the same page.
Turned profitable after Series A and never raised again.
Later down the road I realised that these are the real unicorns once I actually landed in terrible jobs or corporates and how disengaged everyone is in the legacy organisations. Was genuinely shocked that these companies don't go out of business.
I am now trying to collate the list of companies which fit the criteria above but it's really hard.
