The main difference is when you work on enterprise project in big company you are paid for that. When you are startup, you have additional stress to provide stable cache flow. You must live in uncertainty some period of time, and it is not always an option, especially if you have family, credits etc... Beside that, from organization point, yes big project can be equivalent to running a company. A lot of people are involved, someone has to organize and synchronize things. Everyone has to find their role otherwise project will not succeed.

Super good point on cash flow! That’s something I would have never experience on a company project, since the visible cost to us is just software development cost(relatively fixed). Thanks for the insights.
