John,

So far I guess I have been lucky, the largest company
I have ever worked for was about a 1000 employees.
Even there there was only about 20 or so developers.
At that size its still pretty simple to have personal
contact with the Accountants and get them to see the
light. My experience ends there though, I am not a big
fan of large moribund companies so I may every effort
to avoid them if possible. 

A few years ago I consulted at a *very* large company
and that pretty much cured me of any wish to ever work
at such a place. I have never seen so much beaurocracy
in my life. It was sickening.

Accounts should'nt run the company, they are support
personel nothing more. If its an engineering company
the Engineers should drive it, if its a software
company the developers should drive it, etc. Of
course, if that was the case we would be living in a
utopia lol.

In any case, you are probably right.

Thanks,
Eric
