What size company do you work for? What's that like?

We're over 4000 in total, but we are only 30 in our office and we don't have a lot of contact with the other offices except for Windsor and Montreal, so it really feels like a small company with all the great benefits of a big company.

15 - 25-ish people. A startup. Codegum, Inc.

Much like @danielw said, it's quite a privilege to get to do (almost) everything.
But it's hard. 😂 But it's part of the process. So it's fun.

And you learn, slowly, the art of adapting to the different technologies. I guess that's what's important.

And it feels like I recommend it now for people starting on their software development journey.

Start small, and work to learn.

Small startup, with 12 people total once tomorrow comes (Consider). It's definitely challenging for me since it's essentially my first full-time role since graduating. Involvement in a lot of different areas of the product provides many opportunities for growth, which I'm lucky to have so early in my career. I personally appreciate the smaller team size because it feels more manageable to communicate with and learn from my peers :)

Mine is a startup, like 50 60 people. Its ECOM based. ourshopee. It's a bit challenging as the maximum code is legacy but its fun.

LARGE. They're multi-national and have employees all over the world. Can't count how many tbh as I'm starting on the 15th

Startup. One man show.

Small Startup, Eloquent Studio, less than five people. Work is fun and intense.
Being so small in terms of employee size also means everyone has to play multiple roles and keep the shit together always.

Appreciation from client and other members just make it more awesome.

12 years old startup that has grown into a 50+ employee strong company completely owned by a large payment solutions company Nets.

Oh yeah, there's a huge amount of legacy code from the last decade. It will never go away easily.

2! This summer my friend and I are making websites for clients, and writing some interactive articles.

We just finished our second client website, which went really well. We loved working with the website's owner and had a great time working with them.

Writing articles is really exciting and difficult. It's such an open ended task, I'm learning a lot about taking a creative project from start to end within a small team.

I interned at Yahoo! last summer in the Sunnyvale office. It's at least 7000 people crammed in those 5 buildings with a central cafe. I used to eat all 3 meals at the office, best experience ever! I met some amazing engineers, learned a lot and had a blast. My team was 20 people which was a subdivision of 100 on a single floor with open office layout which helped me interact with all team members and gather information for my tasks. We used to play foosball everyday and go out for team lunches etc

They also have the bay just behind the office and I would go for a walk on the trail frequently. Yahoo! ( then Oath and now Verizon Media division ) has a strong engineering culture.

About 2000 employees world wide. We're 30 in our office, no HR, only technical people and one office manager.

The bureaucracy is low to non-existent. I've contributed in writing a job post and assisted in interviews, which was odd considering I'm a junior with no HR skills.

It's a startup with 9 people in total. 3 people in tech team:
My senior => He is leading the team and working on websites, mostly php work.
Me => RN developer taking care of all the mobile application development.
My colleague => she is a junior backend developer, she is making the APIs. I'm currently instructing her in that work.
So yeah, it's fun but there is too much workload.

I work for a company of 60, and just three years ago the number was closer to 6. In other words, we've been experiencing dramatic growth, and it comes with all kinds of challenges. When I arrived last October, much of the code base had never been looked over on site, and I questioned what I had gotten myself into. Now we have new developers, and we've been able to add some navigation to this rocketship.

Also, a 20-year-old company will come with some things you'll just have to ask for insider knowledge to understand. When you find a column in an old table that is named something like unused_field_1, it's best to ask the person who's been around from the beginning to tell you a story (and the stories are always great!).

We are 35. The company is 16 years old. I've been there for like 3 months. We are hiring 10 new developers in the coming weeks.

I've worked for government and one of the biggest aluminum transformer in the world.

I definitely prefer smaller company because there is a real sense of accomplishment and fulfilment. If the project takes longer or the tools aren't on par, I prefer addressing it than putting more money and just waiting. We all know each other, do some activities on and after office hours (not too much, just enough). Feels like a big family where everyone looks after others. Even if I have bosses, they don't feel like bosses and they let employée take the decisions that suits their and their project needs.

17,000. (But I have worked in startups with basically 2 employees, including myself, to large corporations with 350,000 people, also including myself :P).

Most of the large companies I have worked on (including this one) tend to organize in groups that operate as "small companies within the big company" and interact with the other groups sparingly -in part because the operations are completely different-. You have a good insight of your project and the ones close to you, but the large picture is lost. Work is intense but normally comes in waves (while at a smaller company it is intense continuously) and you don't need to wear as many hats as you do in smaller places.
