Youngsters
entering the jobs market are increasingly turning away from large corporations,
as they associate them with a lack of creativity, long working hours and
stress.
Research
from business education charity businessdynamics, reveals that young people
perceive the UK’s larger companies to have all the negative aspects of working
life.

half (46 per cent) believe that working in a large company is likely to be more
stressful than working in a small one, while almost two-thirds believe they
will be more highly valued by small companies.
