This seems pretty clickbaity to me. There's very little content and no specific personal experiences discussed. What types of companies did you have better luck with? How many employees does a "startup/medium-size company" have?

This site also has articles entitled "The Must Know 7 Traps That Make Your Software Useless" and "Make Money with programming. Your Advanced Guide", so I'm not sure how high to set the bar.

The entire article can really be summed up as "Email the founders and get a recommendation."
