In summer, after graduating from college, a swarm of young adults is going to throng into the workforce. For these job hunters, they may be hesitant about whether to enter a small company that seems to be promising and vigorous or a larger one that is more established and organized. Without a doubt, both choices can be appealing to job seekers, finding themselves in a dilemma. However, from my own perspective, in an attempt to minimize risks, I incline towards the preference of large enterprises.

    In general, the organizational structure of a sizable business appears to be more robust than that of an embryonic one. That is to say, after you step into the corporation, you will soon adapt to the work routines there owing to the well-organized system that has long been established. You don’t need to dissipate your effort going through the painful and possibly futile process of trial and error.

    Moreover, the acclaim which a budding small company receives can also be earned by an established big corporation. Some people argue that small enterprises have more innovation unseen in large firms; however, an apt and potent counterexample is the multinational technology company, “Google”. Its products, homepage and public image all explicitly demonstrate novelty and ingenuity, which controvert the view claiming big corporations’ insufficiency of innovation. In addition, some may also praise start-up enterprises for their family-like atmosphere. Likewise, this is also found in a big corporation, where you can also foster strong camaraderie with your coworkers when engaging in a group project.

    While looking for suitable employment, job applicants may be confronted with the quandary of selecting either a large one or a small one. Although both have their own advantages, as the proverb goes, “You win some; you lose some.” To make it concise, you have to be determined to aim at one side and willing to accept whatever that occurs subsequently. Through prudent analysis of pros and cons, I believe an established big company is the preferable option.
