Would you rather work for Google or a smaller high growth company?

I read this article on Signifyd and HotelTonight on this website (BabyUnicorns.com). The whole website advocates for mid-sized high growth companies as places to work for, rather than large companies such as Google and Facebook. I am conflicted on this. Google is consistently ranked as one of the most desirable employers year after year. They will continue to dominate the world in the near future, and it's a super cool brand to have on your resume. But am I missing out on the big upside provided by these smaller but fast growing companies? Sure they are much more risky than Google/FB, but it's not like HotelTonight or Udemy are startups and can go out of business any minute. It seems like they much a lot of upside through employee ownerships. What do you think? If you are a 25 year old engineer who wants a corporate career, would you rather go to Google or a HotelTonight/Signifyd/Asana?
