Interesting. But its silly to try to generalize, folks are different. Some folks do really really well in a big company atmosphere, others don't.

If you want to have an impact on the company, startup is a good bet.

If you want to be sure the company will be around long enough to pay off your student loans, a publicly traded company is a good bet.

If you want to work on something thousands will use, a big company is a good bet.

If you want to explore in a design space, a big company is a good bet.

If you have a vision you want to make real, a startup is a good bet.

If you want to learn what it takes to build a business around a technology a startup is a good bet.

If you want to meet a spouse who is in a similar type of job, a big company is a good bet.

There are so many different things you might consider.
