I used to work at big companies. I am working at a startup for the last 8 months and it is being an awesome experience. The team is small so you have more responsibilities and people actually hear you. Your work has more impact on the product.
I was afraid when I got the offer but in the end I accepted. You don't have too much to lose. If it goes bankrupt you will not struggle with finding another job (I am a developer so I can only talk about my side of things).
Sometimes I have to work long hours but it is not that often (you do this also in big companies).
It's not perfect (there is no such thing as the perfect job) and it's not for everyone but I strongly advice you to try, because again, you don't have too much to lose. 👊
