I think this is an unbelievably interesting question to discuss. I do not I have ever looked into a company’s corporate structure, possibly due to a lack of knowledge on the subject, but I have definitely looked into the stock prices and income statements of companies I applied to. I believe a lot of the need for answers comes from the idea of job security. Working for a profiting company, especially a larger one, gives you the confidence that the company will be able to employee you for a longer period. Also, those larger more profitable companies tend to have a larger resume value. A company will commonly look at work experience with a company like Stryker over working on your friend’s Kickstarter funded technology company.
