Working at a small/mid size company? What is it like?

[wj4]

Hey folks,

I've only been at large companies so I'm curious to know how different is it at a small and/or midsize firm than a nationwide or global one. I would think that there would be strong team unity, but perhaps maybe protocols are not as structured? I find it somewhat funny that I collaborate with colleagues across the coast on a regular basis, but have no idea what they look like, haha. I'd imagine this would not be an issue with smaller firms.

Thanks for any and all inputs!
