I do prefer smaller companies.  It seems once a company reaches a
certain size it gets too many layers of management and good decision
making becomes nearly imposible.  Tends to get frustrating.

During a co-op term at a company that had 1600 PCs on a single 10Mbit
ethernet, I talked to my boss about the fact we ought to segment the
network into seperate pieces for each division.  Nothing ever happened
with that.  Then a few months later HP has been contracted to come in
and investigate why the network performance is so crappy, and after a
few weeks their report recomended segmenting the network into seperate
pieces for each division.  Yeah we really had to pay HP lots of money to
figure that out. :)

Sometimes it can be easier to get the right resources in a small company
because the people making the decisions actually have a clue what the
company does and what is needed to do it.
