If a project is late at Google, you can pull in resources from other projects, delay the release, etc.
If a project is late at a small company, that could mean bankruptcy, even if everyone pulls 80h workweeks.
I personally would prefer a company that is just small enough not to require much corporate bullshit, while still having enough buffer to survive rough patches.
My current project is together with Cap Gemini and holy shit are those guys corporate drones. Absolutely horrible.
Smaller companies offer much less safety, though.
