It ain't easy, specially if big international companies (like KPMG and SGV (E&Y PH)) isn't letting up on you not even for a minute :) Rewarding, fun, challenging (definitely!), very expensive, and hard (like, if you're just an engineer who ventured into entrepreneurship for the first time). The first 3 years is a killer... glad to be out of that stage! But before this stint, I throughly enjoyed working for big companies like Sun Microsystems PH (was: PSPI) and then Check Point Software Tech. They taught me lots of things that is quite helpful to me now, as an analyst + manager + businessman + salesman (gasp!). Specially with Check Point. When I joined, it was really a startup company, with only 300+ of us on board (I was even given [EMAIL PROTECTED] email ! Nowadays, they use the more formal [EMAIL PROTECTED] convention). We could also afford to shutdown the company for a week and fly everybody to Cancun (Mexico) or Sun City (S. Africa) back then. When I left in December 2003, there were already a few thousand of us. What I'm saying is, that the good thing about big companies is that if they're a mature company, they can teach you how to hold things together amidst the chaos that you work in. Yet can still be fun. And that's good, if you learn from it. >On Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 10:00 AM, Roger Filomeno <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> I think I will never work at Google and MS and Yahoo because they are too >> big and has too much politics.
