Comment on Pros and cons of getting a job at a very small software company? (14 employees)

I’m in this exact situation now and have been for many years, while previously in a gigantic company…
Pros:
You (hopefully) tend to have significantly more influence on the tech stack and software direction. You're (hopefully) treated like a real person and not a cog in the corporate machine. You (hopefully) get to learn and do a larger variety of things.
Cons:
Pay can be lower, and getting raises can be harder when you're talking directly to the CEO/Owner and it is quite literally coming out of his or her pocket. Taking leave tends to be harder when there is so few people to pick up the slack.
