It's unfortunate that all non-software industry companies are getting tarred with the ".NET Shop" brush, because much depends on the company culture and who is running the development group. I've worked in some great gigs (and one or two awful ones) in settings you might not expect to be interesting and fun. I'm hiring at the moment, and it's definitely in the "great gigs" category. Bonus, as part of this gig I occasionally get paid to ski and climb. Not that this has helped me find good candidates yet.
