In my job search I have a few companies on my list that seem great to work for, but they are public companies. I have only ever worked for privately held companies, and I am curious to hear from those in the WR about the major differences you have seen from working in public vs. private.
My anticipation is that public companies will be more rigid in structure and have more organizational goals aligned to making the shareholders happy. I would anticipate things like more strenuous end of quarter sales pushes. and/or being quicker to put you on a PIP for underperformance. But also offering more stability as a company and stronger brand recognition on your resume.
What have you experienced?
Most of the threads I found were about selling into private vs. public rather than the differences in structure, so here we are. Thanks in advance for your insight!
