The pros of working in a startup as compared to a large brand include:
â— Upside: If the startup eventually turned out to be successful, it would be a life-changing event compared to a large brand.
â— Passion: Most people working for a startup want to be part of something so special and grow something big. Bonds of passion are formed, but a large brand is already big.
â— Breadth: Startups are usually low on staff members; therefore, a young person working in a startup will get many experiences because he would work in several departments.
The cons of a startup include:
â— Risk: Most startups don't eventually have a breakthrough. Some reasons are out of one's control and influence.
â— Work/Life balance: To startup, one has to be obsessed. This will surely consume time and other aspects of life such as family, friends, entertainment, etc.
