顾名思义，Startup 是一家刚刚开始发展的年轻公司，通常规模很小，资金也很少。这些公司通常提供目前市场上其他地方没有提供的产品或服务，这些产品或服务基于新的想法，或者创始人认为迄今为止在市场上以低劣的方式提供的产品或服务。初创公司由少数创始人或个人经营。在创业环境中工作可以提供充足的工作、大量的学习、丰富的经验，而且最初可能不适合获得丰厚的薪水。在科技初创公司开始职业生涯可以让你接触到大量的学习机会。
另一方面，Infosys、Wipro、Accenture、Tech Mahindra、Tata Consultancy Services 或其他跨国公司等公司经常从各种大学、基于 IT 服务的跨国公司进行大规模招聘。这些公司的工作通常以服务为基础，需要工程师具备相当水平的才能。在大多数工作简介中，这些工作场所的工作期望和薪水都不是很高。
与这些初创公司或跨国公司合作有一些优点和缺点。有些人喜欢与初创公司合作，有些人喜欢与跨国公司合作。
并排看利弊如下：
| Mass recruiters | Startups |
|---|---|
| In mass recruiters like Wipro, Accenture, Infosys with just little knowledge and having good communication skills you can easily get into it. | For the startups you need to have a thorough knowledge on almost both front end and back end of development. |
| In mass recruiters you will get training for several months and then will be given to work on projects according to your performance. | For startups you will get just guidance on how to perform the work and you will get the least training. |
| In mass recruiters your working hours will somewhat be fixed. | In Startups it wont be fixed. |
| Then again in mass recruiters most of the work will be monotonous. | In Startups you will get to learn new things everyday all by yourself. |
| In mass recruiters the pay will be less than the pay in startups. | In startups the pay will be higher than the pay in mass recruiters. |
| In mass recruiters, you may be stuck with the same technology for years. | In startups you can explore other technologies as well. |
| In mass recruiters if you don’t perform well or there are less number of projects you might be put on bench (means on standby) and then they can fire you anytime. | In startups you will have projects all the time. |
| In mass recruiters you will work with many people as a team and the credit might not be given to you for the work you did. | In startups a module of the project is given to you so you would definitely get credit for all that you have done. |
| In mass recruiters, even people from other branches like mechanical, civil, electrical, instrumentation are hired so the work which is given to you can be done by people who don’t have the technical knowledge about the subject with mere training. | In startups your self growth rate is exponential !! You have to work on all technical aspects and can be done by people who are specific about the stream. |
| The major drawback I see in MASS RECRUITERS is BOND. Even if you like your work or you don’t like it you would have to do the job or else you will have to pay lacs of money! For example an employee of a company had to commit suicide because he wasn’t either able to handle pressure given by the company nor was able to leave because it had 3 years bond for which on breakage of bond he needed to pay in lackhs. | In startups you have options of changing various other technologies or leave doing so with some notice period. |
| The mass recruiters also do work on obsolete technologies. | In startups you will be constantly updated with new technologies and will again get to learn new things. |
| The salary hike in mass recruiters is not much about 10%. | After working in startups when you go to work with tech giants you will easily have greater hike in salaries about 40% each year. |
| In mass recruiters you don’t get to choose even the job location or the profile you want they are the ones who will randomly allot you !! For example before giving the offer letter they will make you sign a form in which its written that they can give you any location and any technology to work with irrespective of your preference. | In startups you can atleast have your preferred location of work and you specific stream. |
大多数员工喜欢与初创公司合作，但这取决于您。如果您是新人，建议您在职业生涯的早期将更多精力放在学习而不是薪酬上，因为从长远来看，知识会占用更多。
