If you have a family or you have a chronic illness, working at a big company -- at least in the US -- generally means better health benefits. I'd wager that health insurance alone is the most compelling reason why many people choose big companies over startups.
I mean if this is true we'd expect to see more startups out of Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the UK. Maybe the stats bear that out I dunno. I do know that the ACA has been credited by lots of folks as the reason they were able to start a company.
