Why is it more interesting to work on large deals?

When networking, everyone at a BB tells me how it's more interesting and fun to work on large deals. As I've only been at a MM bank and MM PE, I haven't really worked on any large deals. What are the practical differences between working on large deals vs. small / mid-sized deals? What is it that makes the work more interesting?
