Why I work for a large company and just happy about it

This article - the answer to our readers a very popular material "Why you should never work in big companies». It works in a very large company and are absolutely happy that fact. These thoughts with you, and it is divided into Layfhakere.
I can not agree with the categorical statement that in large companies to work poorly. Here is my experience and tell me what I'm wrong.
First of all, if it is short. Work in large companies - is super and it is a fact. That is why the majority of graduates of the most prestigious universities is to get to work and seek - in major international and Russian companies. Suffice it to go to the job fair in some famous university, and you will clearly see what employers near the most crowd. And if somewhere at the fair will show an empty table, it means that sits a small business there.
In large companies, more money is elementary. And this is reflected in everything. On wages, the presence and size of the social package, working conditions, opportunities for training of employees. When I worked in small companies, my salary was unstable, dresses, semi-officially, what s / n on I did not know, in principle, a bank card, but about pension contributions and all silent. There was, for example, the case where I had to bail out the firm's owner, immediately lent him a certain amount money so as not to disrupt the production process (the money really was not, and I'm really rooting for a business).
I'm not talking about those business areas where the company needs to have its own service department and a warehouse of spare parts. When a small company, even one servisnika difficult to keep, not to mention the fact, to send him for training in Europe or the US. Moreover, even if trained at all the money, he is still after some time will be spent working in a large company. After all, there he will be offered a salary that does not shine here with good intentions, and the job is, quite frankly, without such "hemorrhoids."
Or take for example the case, when I worked in a small publishing company. Newspaper typeset on a single more or less workable computer that literally had to pray. As a result, once just before the turn-numbers glyuknul print program, and We had to re-impose not just a room, and recreate himself publication template! That's what poverty. After those years of working in the industry, I can say I hated the publishing business and did not want to return to it.
Ready availability of materials on almost all occasions. As I work with clients, I always had to provide them with any materials or documents: commercial offers, contracts, catalogs, equipment descriptions, etc. When I worked in small companies, as a rule, I have to do each time it is in a new way. Require foreign suppliers, translated into Russian, considered customs clearance, price, etc. On the next day I get a new client with a different request and I had to make a similar work again. When I got a job in a large company, my delight there was no limit: everything you need to work, I was ready! And in such quantity and choice, that previously could only dream of. Work - I do not want!
A separate theme - this corporate events. Perhaps someone will say that the corporate parties - it does not matter. Like, we do not work for them, and there can be no walk. I agree. But, you know, like in a small firm I once met a corporate New Year? "Corporate" was held in a small shack, intended for demolition (and do it later demolished), in which all of us, even elementary nowhere to sit. We are sitting on the couch literally at each other's knees. And toasts that the next year we have been able to live up to in order to mark the next NG in the restaurant. Yes, not all small firms such misery, but it is a real case from my experience!
Prospects for further employment. If you have worked for some time in a large company, you will now be much easier to get a good job. Like a small business? You are welcome! Also take with pleasure. The new line in the resume will give you the weight in the eyes of almost any employer. And you will not have to ask: "And what do the firm" Pupkin & Co "engaged in?" When I applied for a new job, it was so: "eycharschikov" hitched a high-profile name on my resume. And about the lesser-known (but quite decent company) is not particularly asked me.
Prestige, name brand. When you meet with friends or with someone familiar, people are usually interested in, where you work. And if it turns out that you work for a company whose name everyone knows from childhood, it gives you the weight. People perceive you as a successful person, try to maintain a good relationship with you. After all, you can become a potential customer (and it is always very prestigious - have major brand among its customers) to them. Or, for example, you give them valuable as a person who can help to get a job in a well-known company.
Of course, working in large companies has its drawbacks, like everything else in this world. Someone, maybe more suitable small firm or its business. But that is another story.
