If you had to chose between a large company offering a decent salary and benefits and another small one offering a reasonably good salary but have great working environment in many ways, which one would you chose ?

I share the same lesson learned with you Kevin. 100%
No matter the price, it is not worth it.

Dinah, Interesting Point of view.

Today we learned three things about you: You own a house, a good poker player and you were laid off twice :D

Now you and Sante can go play poker together.
Sorry to tell Sante, I was in Melbourne a year and a half ago and missed the opportunity to play poker. I did take the opportunity to visit several of the wineries in the area though :)

Very nice question Mr. Rami!!!!! and realistic!!!! As my experience I like a nice environment work to work properly and come to home without thinking so much about my work!!! When I worked in international company, my salary was high but the work is very bad!!! they were a lot weak subcontractors and the top management doesn't care the team and they didn't develop project team to make a nice environment !!!!!

Thanks for sharing your experience Tamer. I hear you - I think small companies tend to show better workign environments for so many reasons, not all of course.

Lesson learned : I will chose only great working environment as long as I can pay my bills.
l agree with you, is better have a great work environment, but if you can pay your bills and don't have to think how get more money in other job is better that all.
