This is the market at work. This was taken too far and the market has a method for correcting this behavior and we're seeing it now. The difference is retail is going to win AND there's no backroom deal to be made to stop the bleeding.
We NEED financial reform but we need to look at what allowed this situation in the first place, not ways to silence what are effectively the whistle blowers.
The question is somewhat loaded given the previous statement based on my own biases but I've never written java professionally so excuse my ignorance.

Also, maybe it's all in my head, I don't get that "afternoon drowsiness" at all since I started standing up after lunch instead of eating and then sitting in a comfy chair.
If this article were true it would have been the first public volley in WWIII.
* Technical skills sink or swim very quickly - you'll learn vastly more in the same period of time at a startup than you will at a big company. Or you'll fail.
* You learn to accept that failure isn't as bad as high school / college would have you believe - as long as you learn from it.
* Invaluable leadership experience very early on.
* A lot more responsibility early on - if you like to take charge and see things through it's a wonderful experience.
* Startups are usually founded by intelligent, successful, driven people - based on head count you usually work closely with them and have the opportunity to soak in that knowledge and experience.
* Connections. When you're young / early in your career a startup puts you in situations to meet people you wouldn't normally be in the same room with at a large company.
Cons:
* Equity is a joke. Liquidation preferences are always against the employee no matter how early. I'm at my second startup and anytime I hear a coworker talk about taking a pay cut because they got equity I cringe.
* The pay CAN suck, it doesn't have to. It took two tries but at my second startup (current job) I'm paid fairly. Maybe slightly less than I would be making in the same role at a large company but coming here included a promotion I was 6-12 months away from at the previous large company.
Neutral:
* Transparency. Some startups keep everyone in the dark about cash on hand, burn rates, fundrasiing, etc. Do not work for one of those startups.
https://github.com/bcruddy/GramLikeCam - my Panthers' fan friends seem to enjoy it. Initially I wanted to write a bot that would grab new instagram posts from Cam Newton and translate the weird characters he uses into plain english and post it as the first comment but ended up going pretty much the opposite direction.
https://github.com/bcruddy/tumbo - a very unpolished ascii video chat to play with websockets and string compression, I'll occasionally check out the website and see someone live streaming a day in the office.

"Ward’s rules unleashed what became known as the 'rocket docket.' In his first year on the bench, Ward heard 5 patent cases. In 2006 his docket had 87. 'I did not anticipate that there would be an explosion of lawsuits,' says the now-retired judge."
"Yet Marshall soon gained a reputation the judges may not have welcomed: it became known as a plaintiff’s playground, a place that frequently handed out tens, or even hundreds, of millions of dollars in damage awards. In 2006 the New York Times reported that of the patent cases that went to trial in Marshall, jurors ruled for plaintiffs 78 percent of the time, far more than the national average of 59 percent. From 2001 to 2006, plaintiffs prevailed in eighteen straight verdicts in Marshall."
