I don't get the start up hype. Start ups are great. But not all start ups are great. Similarly not all big companies are bad.

There are a certain things only a big companies can do, Big companies put man on moon, put satellites into orbits, invented the first mobile phone, build mainframes, manufacture drugs that save billions of lives on planet etc.

Minus some very bad places, if you can't do great work where your are now. You won't do it any where else.

There are a lot of brilliant people who work in big corporations on things that are important. You may not see them or their work as upfront as Google's homepage. But every time you take your medication, every time you swipe your credit card. Some one some where is building stuff that makes such a thing possible.
