I strongly disagree.
I work for a company that employs around 50,000 people. My department alone is close to 100 people.
That sounds like a lot of people and I would consider this to be a pretty large company, but we don't even hold a candle to super giants like Amazon who employs a little more than 1.5million people.
They are most certainly still small, but well past the "mom and pop" small business stage.
I address this in my comment. Companies with more that 10 thousands of employees are a handful. And Amazon is one company. Multi million employees companies, like FAANG members, are in the single digits. They are an anomaly and hardly represent large companies. The vast majority of companies considered large, rarely break the thousand employees.
