My new job has less than 50 people in it. Split into 4 areas: .Net, Oracle, Technical, Business/Product.
I was in a company before that had 1200+ people in it, and my team was almost the size of this company. And I can say I am much, much happier at this new job. I know half the people's names already whereas before I didn't even know half my team's name.
We are 11 in total and 2 coming in next week. It's a fun, small workplace. Everybody (almost) knows what others are working on. We can help each other better. Conversations on tea time are really fun and entertaining.
My company has around 3500 people across lots of countries.
In Germany we're 220, and where I am in Munich we're 80 people. Most are Java consultants/developers.
We work in project-teams of 5-15 people, usually in our office. Sometimes we travel for workshops with clients, but since having kids I reduced travelling to a minimum (only for conferences or company-get-togethers).
Work can get a bit repetitive at times, but it's possible to switch projects after some time, especially when something new is coming up.
We don't have on-call and work/tasks are estimated pretty well usually, so work-life-balance is excellent (I think I had to do overtime twice or three times im my eight years here).
Overall, it's good. With a large company, you can feel a little lost, like just employee number 123, but my team/department is relatively small is which nice.
Between 30 and 40 (depending on whether it's intern season). But we're not specifically a software company, so in terms of developers...well, it's basically just me. I like working somewhere small enough to know everyone. I don't like being the only developer--it's isolating and hurts my ability to grow my skills.
For my part I work in a IT service startup Pixium Digital and we are about 10 in our Singapore office and opening a new office with 3-4 people in Nice, France. Having worked in a big company before I was tired of all the politics and huge chain of commands which sometimes can leave you stuck waiting for days. Working in this startup has been an amazing experience!
Got to learn a lot of new tech as everyone has to contributes on projects
Had the chance to learn many new things since we work in many different areas of IT
Having open space offices eases communication ( I can talk to my boss directly)
We can easily organize company events where everyone can come and space isn't limited. (try hosting 300 people events at a restaurant)
My boss is always open to new ideas which makes it easy to suggest trying new things.
One of the things I love the most is if I show interest and dedication my boss will not hesitate to try and ask more of me. (giving me my own team, project etc)
Startups are always tricky as the atmosphere can be either very toxic or very amazing. But for my part I am very happy I decided to travel half the world to be in Singapore at Pixium Digital.
I work for isev we're a small UK agency (Less than 15) and it's pretty great.
I get to work on all sides of development including server, back end and front end. We mostly do client work but we have a few of our own internal projects as well. We have a central office but also a few people that work remotely, too.

We're just 65, and we are only 20 in our office!
Feels nice, because this isn't a tech company, and I do everything on my own, which is somehow good and bad ;)

Large. As in 300k employees globally.

We're a small, remote-first company of 25 or so. 10 in support, 9 in dev/design, and the rest in biz/comms/marketing!
Very cozy, easy communication, and Slack/Basecamp/Github for easy communication and project tracking.
