If you have ever shopped for a coworking space, you would notice that it is not a perfect competition type of market, and not all coworking spaces are made equal. In San Francisco alone, there is a wide range of what coworking spaces offer. The environment, vibe, and price are all very different. The owners of a coworking space could range from just a yogi to a small business owner to a corporation. 

Coworking Spaces vs Large Corporate Spaces
Coworking originated in San Francisco by Brad Neuberg with the idea of combining the freelancing with a structure of a community of office space for freelancers to feel as if they belong somewhere. A coworking space is an environment that allows a different set of people to work on their desired project at an independent level. Since then coworking spaces have sprouted everywhere, not only in the Bay Area but also internationally. Smaller and independent business owners were first onto the idea of gathering other freelancers. And if you think about it, freelancers have a lot in common with small business owners. First of all, they all work independently and they don't belong to a large company who gives them directions on their work. 
Once this movement gained tractions, larger corporations joined in. Corporate coworking spaces started sprouting everywhere. Large corporate spaces are normally larger and specially designed to accommodate larger companies. In truth, a large corporate space is the enterprise version of the smaller coworking space environment. 
They both usually offer private offices for companies and the main area for independent workers. 
Which Choice Is Best For You?
There are numerous points essential for consideration when picking out your preferred coworking space. But you should pick one that fits your vibe, energy, and budget. As relative as choices can be, here are some of the important points to consider while choosing between coworking spaces. 
  • Cost Of Space
Interestingly, the price between a large corporate-owned space and a space owned by a small business owner could be quite different. Of course, the smaller ones are not as pricey as the larger ones.
  • Noise Level
This is one of the important factors when it comes to coworking space. Coworking spaces can become loud and noisy which may cause distraction and inability to carry out your job. Especially in larger coworking spaces where the members are less filtered and filled with sales bros. 
Picking a smaller coworking space could provide an environment with fewer people and less noise.
  • Work Hours
The flexibility of schedules in smaller coworking space is far better than large spaces. This is due to the ability to manage the number of people working off from a smaller coworking space. Larger coworking space, especially those in a high rise building could shut down its elevator at a certain time, making it impossible for you to access the space. If you were on a deadline crunch, you could be very screwed in this scenario! 
If you are in any type of environment that requires you to put in the work, you might need to consider going for the smaller coworking space for this advantage.
  • A Personal Conflict Of Interest
Due to the number of people in a large space, there could be a conflict of interest that might be clashing between the other space users. This could result in an uncomfortable space to work in. Egos could also get in the way of getting along in a bigger space. 
In a smaller space, it is easier to manage this with the fewer set of people in the same coworking space. People who opt to use smaller coworking spaces are also normally a set of more down to earth people. 
Conclusion
It is very important to pick the coworking space that will facilitate your productivity and provide you with a comfortable environment to work in. If budget isn't a constraint, of course, you should sign an office lease to work in your workspace. However, you could always do cooler things with your money than renting an office space.
