I have never been in a company larger than 1k. I love it and don’t see myself going to larger companies anytime soon. Your direct manager is always extremely important but more so important in smaller companies so I’d do more convos and questions with them. I had one company that did not get funding so I would say if you’re risk adverse, find companies with several rounds of funding as they’re more stable. Since you have some start up experience, reflect on what made them bad and ask questions that get in that nature. eg did you feel a lack of ownership as ask questions at how the current roadmap is formed.
Great Advice about the importance of your immediate manager.
I have always worked with companies under 250, some being startups, except for one contracting position. I have not made huge financial gains nor had stability, few I made a difference and had bit more control over product and processes than others. But I did end up owning more and learnt a ton in start up and smaller companies. So see what you want in life, but a lot depends on your immediate manager. That is one thing I learnt over the years.
