It is more about what you care for.

MNC's:

  • Work life balance
  • Slightly better job security
  • More peers to observe and learn from
  • Brand name on your resume
  • Not many exciting projects
  • Limited role in project
  • Slower promotions

Startups:

  • More active role in project
  • Rapid career growth
  • Competitive Salaries
  • Challenging and exciting work
  • Faster promotions
  • Little to no work life balance
  • Less peers to observe and learn from
  • No one to help when you're stuck

Now you can choose based on your priorities.

I think one should start his career in startups after spending 3/4 years should move to MNC for wlb or better pay.

Apart from what @tenxengineer shared, here's my list:

MNCs:

  • You might find the opportunity to work on high scale problems
  • You might learn a lot of great practices around software engineering, managing projects, leadership and communication
  • Cash compensation is usually higher
  • Fewer greenfield projects usually and you end up doing incremental innovation or maintenance work
  • You might face lots of friction and bureaucracy if you try to change things

Startups:

  • A ton of entirely new projects which are usually fun
  • Little to no bureaucracy as the focus would be on getting things done quickly +/- You might get to explore auxiliaries like product management or design pretty well
  • Scale is usually not that high so technical problems are a bit toned down
  • Not a lot to learn in terms of good practices
