I once visited a colleague at ebay when we was working late and nobody was around. I thought his work would be interesting to encourage him to go and work even late hours but one glance at his workstation and he was grappling with a monstrous xml file. I asked him what he thought of ebay and he said they have great facilities like a gym, a nice campus etc but didnt say a word about "interesting work". Red flags.
