I worked for two startups. One startup was fairly large 100+, it sure didn't feel like a startup except for when it asked people to come on weekends and work or stay behind until 11pm and have the manager call at 1am about work. It also played the startup card when it came to pay. I learned that if you screw people over, they will still stay if it means they can keep a job.
Another startup I joined was small, 20 people. CEO was very caring guy. Paid people better and no crazy hours. Learned some things from the boss.
Overall, I've learned more from the second startup, but it probably won't matter in helping my own. I learned so much more about just bootstrapping my own product.
