Every time I see these articles I'm amazed at how at odds it is with my experience. I work for a tiny company of ~30 people and it's awesome. I'm super well taken care of in pay, benefits, and work/life balance. I could make a bit more at a large corp, but I get some pretty stellar benefits here. Also if it's anything like what I read on here then there's no way it's worth it.

I work in games and that already risky to begin with. Finding a small game studio that can pay decently is pretty much like finding a needle in a hay stack.

The smallest studio I worked at was still 100+ people, and grew to 200+ by the time I left.
