Learn more things
In small companies, the opportunity for you to learn, interact and work with bosses will be more, from which you will mature and develop faster than when working for a large corporation.

For example, if you apply for a PR position of a small company, you not only do the work of establishing relationships with the media, writing TCBC... but you can also do many other jobs of the Marketing department, from producing TVCs. , to sampling, events... In a large company, in a professional working environment, everything is specialized, so you only do your job.
Flexibility in work
Flexible time, work and workspace arrangements are an advantage of working at a small business. Jake Hamilton is the Chief Content Officer at LazBro Inc., where he works half-time from home so he can spend more time with his family.
Small companies often do not have attractive offers like large corporations, but in return, they have fewer rules, so they are more flexible and comfortable in working conditions for employees. Hamilton's company wants its employees to have fun and be happy at work.
There, people are close and caring for each other, ready to work for you, so you have time to rest and recuperate. In addition, you are not required to be at the company for 8 hours/day and 6 days/week.
Pursuit of values
Because companies are small, with few employees, it is easy to make decisions and employees can pursue their values. For example, improving the office environment, using solar panels, wind turbines and recycling for an eco-friendly environment. These are the necessary “green” values for the company as well as the employees.
