It’s Friday afternoon and I’m getting ready for the weekend. Which of course means my mind is starting to wander and I start to think about the answers to very open-ended questions. This week’s question is:
Would you rather work at Google or Cuil?
One is the undisputed industry leader with a market share that just won’t quit…rising. The other is the cagey start-up that has nowhere to go but up.
One has tens of millions of loyal users that have formed habitual search behaviors that are hard to break. The other has the opportunity to revolutionize search and change the status quo.
One has shareholders to please and SEC regulations to abide by. The other only answers to their venture capitalists and their entrepreneurial mindset that keeps saying, “It can be better.”
I am not asking which is a better search engine. I’m not asking which one has better products, more users, or a cooler favicon. I’m simply asking that if both companies offered you the same job at the same salary, which offer would you take?
Are you more comfortable in a relatively stable corporate environment or do you like the unique pressures and roller coaster ride of a start-up?
