Big companies are great in a few areas and highly recommend them to anyone graduating.
1. You learn strict business processes that are reproducible and repeatable. They don't teach these in school.
2. You'll be surrounded by senior people who have years of experience. Albeit (in my experience) these people are not very good at what they do, they do offer a good mentor model.
3. You can make an endless amount of mistakes and you won't effect the bottom line of the business.
4. You'll quickly build a network of professionals. This is key. Networking is (almost) everything in business.
Finding small companies that do all of these well do exist but they are hard to find.
