I don't think you can generalise based on the size of the company. I've worked for two large companies, Deutsche Bank and then Barclays Bank and they were totally different. A lot depends on the particular a**hole who is at the critical management layers and whether or not they follow company policy.
My time at Deutsche was hell, having to work with a complete ****. I finally left when it got to th estage that I either had to hit him very hard or just walk out. I decided to walk but oftern wish I done the other.
The contrast at Barclays was amazing. Barclays treated me like a person not just a "human resource" to be used, abused and replaced. They may not always get it right but the bassic policy is in place to ensure that staff are treated with respect from the top down.
Presently, I have both the best and the worst employer all rolled into one.........I'm self employed.

I worked for Sainsburys when a student and what a shower of sh1te they were - made sure the quality of my work matched their treatment of the staff. Had its perks working in the frozens dept though, all that ice cream looked after by me 
Oh and pretty much everyone turned up for work stoned as it was the only way we could cope with it lol

What i really really hate about my employer is .... Motor Trade (southeast)
Its a Family company and they trade on their family values. But its all bo11ocks.
They are just looking out for number one ! Themselves
They dont give a hoot about there staff !
