Although my professional work experience is still limited, I have worked in both and definitely prefer startups.

At a startup, it's much easier to care about the work that you do, become recognized for the work that you do, and suggest/implement changes if something within the company isn't working well (e.g. deployment process).

Is this still possible in a large corporation? Sure. But it's usually difficult to see how your work plays a part of the bigger picture, and the process is so comfortable for many that suggesting anything new will typically become shut down.
