I have the opportunity to maybe get a job as a software developer at a small software company that employs 14 people. But my gut is telling me that getting a job at a small company like that might he terrible. Do you guys have any experiences working at companies that small?

In my mind, I imagine the CEO would have a very large presence at the company and everyone would feel a lot of pressure to appease him. I imagine that the whole company would just be a boys’ club. But I guess any company can be like that, so maybe I’m jumping to conclusions, and the size of the company isn’t actually related to company culture?

Please let me know if you have any thoughts.

EDIT: The company has been around for two decades

    Invest-in, read, & consider the implications of,

    “The Slicing Pie Handbook”.

    Then consider whether you’re getting equity or mere-paycheck,

    then consider whether the circumstances make that particular context, & particular pay-regime, a risk you aren’t long-term accepting.

    Also invest in 2 books on the enneagram, “The Modern Enneagram”, the one by 2 women, 1 of whom is Bell, iirc, not the other one with the same name, & “Taking Care of Your Type”,

    & consider how well those 2 specific ones get you, then do your own analysis of the ones who’d be affecting your life.

    The more you understand what you’d be in for, the better for you, right?

    The 1st mentioned Modern Enneagram book has links to scientific papers, if you want that background.
