I wouldn’t base my acceptance on the type of company. What I am looking for in a company is good pay and experience that will help me further my career. I think that even larger companies can sometimes offer less because they have a larger pool of qualified candidates to choose from. This wouldn’t be a deal breaker if I believe that the quality of work and name recognition will help me in the long run. Similarly, others have mentioned that perhaps initially it is a great position, but it leads to stagnation in the long run. So as you can see, the quality of a position can vary greatly even between companies of the same type.

Another aspect that can correlate with the type of company is the company culture. A sole proprietorship is usually smaller so there will be fewer coworkers. This can lead to a closer working relationship that can enhance the experience. Similarly at larger companies company activities are planned to emulate that same environment. These activities encourage coworkers to form a closer relationship as this will lead to better communication and teamwork.
