Not when you're really tiny, and they're one of the largest employers in the world. I am a one man software shop and my dealings with one of the world's largest beverage producer has been anything but negotiation. The lady I have been dealing with has been really hard, I am not exaggerating, but it's very close to them ordering me around. Every few weeks I get 20 pages of crap for me to go thorough, and I usually have a day or so read the fine print, sign and fax it back to them. I am not even sure what I promised anymore, however, the pay, when it comes around in about a year or so is well worth it (not exactly retirement, but enough to live off of for 5+ years.)
