Thank you for your opinion.

I’m not saying that any of aspects of working in a startup are bad and you will never be able to work in a big corporation for the rest of your life. I’m just saying that approaches, especially to product development are different. And you obviously have more freedom in a startup.

About experiments, nobody’s saying that experimenting for the sake of experiment is wise. There’s no reason to do this. But, again, in a startup you are welcome to experiment and see new options, whereas in a larger organization it’s better to play safe (too much money, too much of a risk).

There’s no bad or good side. It’s amazing that both of your startups are great and on fire, I wasn’t writing about them, obviously :)

And my experience is not “the wrong one”, I don’t even know why it’s possible to assume such thing. My experience with startups is that I have more freedom, I can see things the way I want to see them, and I do not want to come back to the corporate job as a PM, for example, at least for now. Maybe in two years a large company will buy our startup and I’ll be happy as hell :)
