Many of the things I think I would enjoy about working for a startup are actually the qualities I enjoy about working on a small team. Not at startups retain the small team mentality for long. Not all small teams are at startups.
Plenty of large companies build small teams for new ideas but they too have the problem of often not staying small for long. Empire building is a hell of a drug. But you can often see this coming and I’ve known a couple people who were very good at moving horizontally within a company every few years to avoid most of these sorts of problems.
