Question First Job out of college: Small or Large Company?

Hey just wondering what everyone thinks is a better opportunity to gain experience with a first job out of college.

In my opinion, I think a smaller company is the better route to go because it allows a recent college graduate the ability to take on more responsibility. In my experience I have found that at small companies, employees "wear several hats" and have lots of extra tasks and responsibilities they normally wouldn't have at a large organization.

After the first year or two of working at a small company, the recent graduate should have a lot more experience and have the ability to work at a large organization.

What do you think?
