When students are preparing to graduate from university, they need to make decisions about what kind of company they want to work for. They might consider large, older companies with an established reputation, or possibly new start-up companies. which tend to be small but very focused on the future. Consider the advantages of each. Would it generally be better for a new university graduate to begin working for a large, established company, or for a small start-up company? Why?

I think in general, the established company is the better choice. Because they’re already well-known, these companies have a certain amount of respect in the business community, so it would look good to have that job experience on your résumé. That advantage alone would be a great start for a recent graduate.

I see your point, Kelly, but taking a position at a start-up company would offer so much excitement. They often have an energy that older companies can’t match—everyone can be focused on new, innovative business practices and they would be more aggressive about getting new clients. That would be a much better experience for someone fresh out of university!

  • In my view, opting for an established company is the preferable choice for recent graduates. This perspective aligns with Mike's belief that gaining job experience in a large company can be a significant asset on a fresh graduate's resume. I would like to further argue that large, established companies frequently offer well-defined career paths and a wealth of resources for employee development. These resources include mentorship programs, training courses, and opportunities for upward mobility within the organization, which can lead to long-term career advancement.

     

    While Kate highlighted that start-ups offer a unique energy, aggressively focusing on innovation and new client acquisition in a way that often surpasses established companies, she overlooked the fact that the excitement and aggressive push for new clients often come with long hours and high stress, which could lead to early burnout. This may not be ideal for someone who is just stepping into the professional world and still adjusting to a full-time work schedule.

     

    In conclusion, choosing an established company is a better option for fresh graduates.
