Unclear why one would choose to work at a traditional Fortune 1000 type company these days, as opposed to a well funded growth startup - comp and job stability have become very comparable
If you don't want to work too hard, or are uncomfortable with rapid change, you might be happier working for an established company. And frankly startups will also be happier if you do.

Agreed. Startups aren’t fans of mediocre work ethics. You’re rewarded for being a trusted asset who can jump in & run with it. I switch roles 3 times @ my first startup to whatever they needed me to do. From Product Strategy, to Head of User Experience to Marketing Director.
