But aren't the big companies often very slow and boring to work in? Of course they have some interesting projects but if you really want to build something from the ground and work together where the whole company is in the same team it will hard to achive in a big one

Yes, they usually are.

The sweet spot is to find a company developing a new product or something of the sort.

Where I work now I started on a new product that was young, and since moving on from that project, we have replaced many legacy applications/products. I've done my longest employment stint (4 years) of my career because it's been my best job at this point.
