Usually, the bigger the company, the more time is spent trying to get uninterrupted time to program. When the company is smaller you get as much time as you like to program. This is because there are a lot less people you have to communicate with.
So at 200+ companies. Half of your work week is dedicated to just constantly communicating what you are doing. (Everyone must know everything all the time).
At smaller companies, you tell the one person you work with what you are doing and thats pretty much it for the week.
Everyone's mileage will very but this has been a pattern I have seen in the industry.
- Spoom 12y agoMy experience matches this observation. Working with a much larger company as a vendor, the difference becomes magnified (e.g. LargeCo wants meetings meetings meetings all the time, even when the same information could be communicated in an email to all concerned parties).
