- Startup
A startup is a new venture that is in the early operational stages and is known for its potential to build and grow rapidly.

They are also known for being fast-paced and using iteration to improve their products. with the help of angel investors, venture capitals, fund raising they are able to grow. If you join a startup in early stage you may get enormous experience from your field and other fields to. But it also depends on if you are joining the company with low experience you may not have good mentors and guidance . You will have to figure yourself out by yourself. So its a 50/50 kind of situation. Here you may have to start your own culture. You may need to work extensive hours for achieving startups’ goals. You will be able to work with company founders , investors closely which will open more opportunities in the near future.
Payment may be less. Even the founders are figuring out the methods there is a huge risk about the job stability. Startup might not be existed within few months. Your service letter would need some cross verification .
2. Conglomerate
These are the companies who has major running for a long time. they have formed their own culture . specific departments are divided. insurance, leaves, medical and everything is almost decided and in operations. You will have to do your part and go home after reasonable hour. Career ladder is visible and transparent. You would have enough mentorship to support for your role. Safety of the job is secured for a certain extend.
But here you will be assigned for a very specific tasks . You will be confined for a small role. For your growth you will have to follow continuous professional growth courses and training for being the one to be promoted.
