A huge majority ? including the state employees as working in a very large company, the median employee works in a company employing 200-1000.

97% of companies in Europe are micro-companies (under 50 employees).

In France, it seems there are about 5 million employees in micro-companies and about 9 million in companies with under 250 employees (wikipedia TPE/PME and pme.gouv.fr).

That's not "a huge majority of employees work for very small companies". That's "a fifth of French employees work for micro-companies, and a minority for companies under 250 employees".

And a 200 employees company is already quite large.

Granted, my mistake. The number of employees is quite large anyway, but that's not the point.
I actually had in mind the proportion, 97%, which is about the number of TPE - small businesses, not employees.
