In our life, the company where we are working to produce product for consumer plays a very important role in offering us jobs and chance to make money for survival. Therefore, we should be very careful of choosing our work place in that we spend more than half of our day in company working with co-workers and our supervisors. In my opinion, working in small company are more likely to be better choice for people in modern days in that they are able to work in circumstance where they get less stress from their work and also can work with their creativity.
First of all, the advantage of working in small company is that we can work in atmosphere such as our home with family because it's easy to make close relationship in small company as there are few people compared to large company. Therefore, it would be very helpful for us to figure out each of co-workers and supervisors‘ characteristics that make us work more comfortably. From my experience, I have worked as a internship worker in both small company and large company. Unlike the large company where I don't have rare chance to know each other, I could be even familiar with CEO in the small company and able to communicate with him whenever I had came up with great idea to improve the company's working condition. According to a research by 'Korea university' 75% of respondents who are applicants for company said that they want to work in a place where building a close relationship with each workers is possible like small company. On the other hand, some people claim that it is not necessary to know all of the people in company because workers always have to work in same department of the company. However, every process in company is connected to each other like spider web, it would be more beneficial to know as many workers as possible.
Second, small company is the best place where we can show our ability and creativity. It is hard to find any red tape or complicated order process in small company unlike large company where the creative workers' opinions are often disregarded by their stubborn supervisors. For example, my sister, who once worked in SAMSUNG, which is one of the biggest companies in Korea, quitted her job because its company's red-tape atmosphere was not appropriate for her who likes creating new ideas and suggesting her complaint about company directly to her boss. Finally, she moved to another small company providing a comfortable atmosphere even though the salary is not higher than former company. Of course, some people maintain that there are enormous companies like Microsoft or Apple where it is known to produce the most creative products and idea. However, a research conducted by Time magazine refutes their idea well saying that more than 85% of the companies in Silicon Valley making and developing the most cutting-edge goods in the world are small company composed of workers less than 30 people.
To sum up, working in a small company seems to be more beneficial for workers in various aspects. What makes workers enjoy their work and come up with idea brilliant idea is the place which enjoyable and comfortable atmosphere is guaranteed.
