Alternatively:

Can't think of anything I'd like less than working at a company that has 10,000 employees after 10 years and then 15,000 the next year. Talk about mostly being occupied with moving desks, onboarding people and having growth other such growth pains. Not sure why people idealize working in this sort of environment. Other than that it can offer lucrative salaries in a growing business, what's the pull?

Firms are not run for the benefit of their employees (unless they are also the majority owners, which is pretty rare), so it doesn't actually matter what we prefer unless it impacts hiring (aka the cost of sufficiently useful labor) which it largely doesn't as most employees don't have pricing power on their labor (they are price takers, not price setters) and unions (the purpose of which are to give them that power) are out of the question.

Yeah same thing. Such a company is just 100 different 100 people companies. Plus a lot of big enterprise bs. Working at a 100 ppl company that has 105 people next year, that sounds great. Or even a 1000 people company that has 1000 or 1050 people next year.
