Understanding this divide between large and small companies can impact
your decisions about what kind of job you want to look for. If you're happy
doing one specific job function and sticking with that, then looking at larger
companies should appeal to you. However, if you like to do a variety of tasks for
a game, then working on your own or seeking a job with a smaller company
that looks for multitasking folks could be the way to go. For more information
