Whether you are craving an enviable work-life balance, seeking your next step on the ladder or looking for a new role that offers a security net for your finances – you have to weigh up the pros and cons of working for a start-up or corporate, and it’s not an easy decision to make.
Start-ups are often seen as the ideal company of the 21st century. They can offer an exciting, fast-paced and relaxed approach to working with a desirable work-life balance and enjoyable culture.
Corporates however can offer indisputable benefits including job security, a safety net for your finances, a career path with definitive routes to promotion and clarity over your roles and responsibilities.
They also have their downfalls. Corporates can be slow-paced, contain too many layers in their decision-making process, be resistant to change and lack the work-life balance so many of us now crave. They often appeal to the risk-adverse and lead many later on in their career to jump ship into the disruptive world of start-ups; but, is it the right move?
Start-up organisations carry the indefinite risk of being made redundant, they offer lower salaries, less clarity over job titles and the responsibilities that follow and often lack structure across the whole business.
We have created an expert guide for those of you who are seeking your next career move. We speak to the thought-leaders and c-level specialists who have transitioned between established and disruptive organisations to offer you some first-hand experiences of the benefits and downfalls of both types of organisation.
