A few days ago with a friend exchange, he said a cousin graduating this year, and immediately faced with looking for a job, is to find a good first-tier cities big companies work, or stay in second-tier cities and develop small and medium companies. I said, well go big companies. Why is there this conclusion, the article combined with his experience to talk about some of my feelings.
My first job was in a foreign company, was holding "escape" to the idea of a second-tier cities of Shanghai branch, but the management culture with the headquarters of almost all the same, the job experience for me to work behind regardless of is a style of doing things, the way of thinking of the method is still used to have a great impact. Later moved into state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, and then into start-up companies, from the size of the company can be said to have had experience of various types. Here to talk about their feelings from the perspective of several environmental factors, the plateau effect factors.
1. environmental factors
Environmental impact on a person's still very important, whether it is well-known, "knows nothing doubts nothing" argument, or so we Chinese people racking head, "the school district house" phenomenon, were indicative of the environment of a person growth plays a vital role.
Environmental differences small companies and large companies is reflected in the quality of personnel, level. Large companies access threshold is relatively high, so the quality of personnel, the level is relatively higher, if those around you cow people more, then, with the cattle be a long time, you may slowly into the cattle list a - "He that knows nothing." And small companies, especially start-ups, in order to recruit people to work as quickly as possible, often the quality of personnel, the level will be good and bad, it can be hard to find a aspects to convince you want to follow the real "cow" and he learned.
Second on the system, process specifications. Large companies in systems, processes, improve and perfect the relative norms, whether everyday or personnel management division of labor cooperation are relatively clear, you know when to do (because you gave arrangements have been made), what should turn to deal with, has chapter to follow, someone can find. In small companies, many people may feel in one word - "chaos", staff responsibilities, division of authority is not clearly defined, and no one to guide, do not know at what stage should be doing, or how to do it, obviously is a soldier, boss but you can not wait to be a versatile, losers hope you can get. Some people work in a large company is doing a screw analogy, but think small companies in order to exercise comprehensive ability, but I think at a certain stage, screw-like work to allow you to get greater improvement in the above professional competence, and small the company called comprehensive ability, often evolution is "odd jobs" capability, the boss in order to save costs, and give full play (press) each person's capacity (value), often a person to be played many roles, such as making the personnel of both tube recruitment, and to its administration, and may even be pulled to monitor the progress of the project, it is difficult to make you a professional in the field of depth growth.
Again on the product scale, large-scale Nikkatsu company's products may at least millions to more than a million either in technology or product operations on the needs and requirements of higher level, where you can learn skills and the routine is a small company Nikkatsu thousands or tens of thousands of products scale unmatched.
Finally, in the cultural atmosphere, large companies generally have to form their own corporate culture, including the work style of the people around them, habits, will have a subtle influence on you. For example, I now whether it is to write code, or write text, will be repeated several times to check is to develop the habit of work in the first company. Because your every line of code to your leader may help you will carefully review, to identify problem areas so that you repeatedly corrected until passing your every message will be others (in many cases foreign companies also include American Indians ) serious View, you will be prompted so check carefully whether there are missing the point before they are issued, the existence of spelling and grammar mistakes, over time, to develop a more rigorous examination of this repetitive style of doing things. In small companies, generally in a short time is difficult to form their own corporate culture, deal with a lot of things are more extensive, lack of grasp of detail, you can hardly benefit from the corporate culture.
If swimming to describe the differences between large companies and small companies, I think the big company is like a master of swimming, swimmer standard action, there are norms rhythm, so swim farther; and small companies like will be a "dog paddle" wild child of the country, although the way the wild, but effective - although more laborious, but can swim, but how far can swim, depends on the direction right, one can not insist.
2. plateau effect factors
Some companies now hiring, all institutions must be explicitly requested graduated 985,211, and even some posts directly to BAT. Not long ago seen a case, Shanghai Jiao Tong University graduation because diversification is not 211 undergraduate, recruiters are directly rejected.
The reality is that, look at the background, see background. Famous enterprises to work with graduate schools, have a larger bonus and advantages of the latter will quit. Large companies from small companies is difficult to jump, but from large companies to small companies to jump a lot easier, seen many Ali of ordinary skill in the jump SMEs do Technical managers.
Famous enterprises aura, in addition to employment and job-hopping aspects behind have the advantage in the social activities also have certain advantages, such as now a lot of technical books, a considerable part from Ali, not to say non-Ali who do not have this capability, and this is because with famous enterprises Ali aura, the stuff is easier to be accepted and recognized, though not necessarily how good level.
3. What people go for small companies
After all, not everyone can go to the big companies, then what people go for a small company? I think it may mainly include two categories is that they have achieved good growth in certain areas, with a special skills or know how to do things the ability to lead others, this is usually in pursuit of a high salary or field or more optimistic about the company, people have their own ideas; the other is not yet have the ability to enter the capital and large companies who human beings must work and life, so I had to enter the small company grow, but some people unless development of the company itself particularly well, or otherwise, should try to rely on big companies, big companies trying to enter the experience of its management and culture, and for your entire career is of great help.
4. Select the kind of small company
Choose what kind of small business is better, although very often do not have much choice, after all, a small company is also good opportunity which can not matter, but if anything, I think it is best to select the following four conditions are met little The company is better.
- Fly boss . Small company's management culture and the future of basic determined by the quality and capabilities of the boss, so an ability to fly the boss is the first element.
- High-level management team , technology, management and marketing aspects. The management team is very important for start-up companies, only a stable mature in all aspects of the team, the chances of success will be bigger, room to grow inside you can also get some more.
- Product development projects with long-term potential . Business is to be a people willing to pay for products and the products continue to find a way to sell, so the product is not just to be, there is no one to pay, can not last very important.
- Reliable resources and channels . Reliable resources and channels to the products continue to be sold, enterprises can maintain sustainable development.
More than four points down from the descending order of importance, while meeting the four conditions of small companies should be minimal, it is a goodly things, the importance can choose from top to bottom.
Also enter the small company, one thing is common possible options, options have a certain allure, but also rational view. If the above four points are tricky, no options can also get good exercise and growth, if not fly, then even took a high probability option is also a beautiful dream, looks very good, but that will not come true species, so the face of the option (yourselves), but also to remain rational.
The workplace is not the Garden of Eden
Finally, big companies or small companies, there is no Garden of Eden in the workplace, only you continue to grow and progress, and their powerful, and have more options.
