Life in a small PE group

I'd like to ask you what is the difference between the medium/big groups to the very small ones? Let's say around 10 people...

And yes, I've read the 'why people rather work for megafunds over mm' legendary thread, I'm not really looking for a breakdown of every sector just trying to understand if in a small group aiming for 1-2 deals @ year I will get to analyze many companies and gain experience in the field or it's going to be significantly lower (compared to guys working for medium/big groups) because of the deal flow/anything else?

I do find a good value working for such a group since I will probably be all over everything and be exposed to a lot of things normally I wouldn't be exposed to this early in my career.

PE is actually something I find very appealing and I'm not looking for exit opps here I'm looking for a place where I can actually get to use my head instead of running numbers the entire day. I'm not saying that I expect to make any investments from day one since I do have a lot to learn about investments first (can't wait for it tho..) but I'd assume it's not as bureaucratic as in the big names most of the guys here jerk to.

Thanks for your help :)
