I have the opportunity to maybe get a job as a software developer at a small software company that employs 14 people. But my gut is telling me that getting a job at a small company like that might he terrible. Do you guys have any experiences working at companies that small?

In my mind, I imagine the CEO would have a very large presence at the company and everyone would feel a lot of pressure to appease him. I imagine that the whole company would just be a boys’ club. But I guess any company can be like that, so maybe I’m jumping to conclusions, and the size of the company isn’t actually related to company culture?

Please let me know if you have any thoughts.

EDIT: The company has been around for two decades

    Pros: You get hands on with all sorts of tech and get to do everything. You’ll have more flexibility in how you solve things.

    Cons: You get hands on with all sorts of tech and get to do everything. You’ll have more flexibility in how you solve things.

    It’s fun being at a small software company but it can be exhausting.
