"Going from a larger company who had no idea what they were doing from top to bottom to a smaller company who know exactly what they are doing in every aspect."
"As a small company, your work will have immediate impact upon the real users. Your ideas about improvements will be seriously listened to, without being dismissed out of hand. Managers actually listen to what you are saying, and actual have an idea what you are talking about"
