Enterprise vs SMB could determine how stressful the job is - depending on your personality. If you work for a small company (Gopal's #1) that has a handful of Enterprise customers - those customers have enormous power over you. This could be good or bad depending who those customers are. I have some friends who work in such scenarios in Silicon Valley whose jobs are high stress due to constant fire-fighting, and the frequent "better implement this new feature we want or else..." demands - as those friends don't have the personality that enjoys this type of work.
