Large corporate will teach you good practices. What it won’t teach you is how to design and build anything, as that will be the purview of seniors and up.
I think the best path for someone starting out is a year or two in a big corporate, then move to something small where you get to do everything. Of course, this seems like a bad thing for big corporates, so they should probably work out how to give devs a better path through their own companies.
