I love my job, R&D work allows us to make up rules as we go.
Great working hours, intelligent and motivated co-workers, and awesome pay and benefits.

I like it, it's pretty interesting and all my co-workers are pretty cool.
Pay is not that great at the moment but will go up significantly once I have been here for a few years.

Benefits are great though:
Flexible working hours, 35 hours per week, 26 days holiday per year plus free medical & life insurance and a very nice company pension.

its alright
i am getting sick of it... i don't even want to work in the computer field anymore. it annoys me..
the benefits suck.. the pay is okay considering how i started there. i get my own PC and whatever i want to do with it (only good thing)

I really like my job. I'm constantly learning and taking on challenges, and on a track to get a jump in pay and responsibilities in probably a year or more if I can prove that I deserve it by learning more, taking on more responsibility and taking a leadership role within my group. I have taken the leadershp role in the last few weeks as the last guy in the spot already got promoted. The people I work with are cool to talk to, most are pretty smart and knowledgeable. The benefits are very good, when doctors realize what is covered, many are surprised at the coverage. The fringe benefits of where I work are pretty cool too, breakfast and lunch every day, dinner most days if I'm working late. There's always snacks, tons of soda, tea, coffee, cup o'noodles, sandwich fixings, in the kitchen. Plus working on movies is kinda cool :)

The one drawback is pay. I'm severely underpaid. I should probably be making almost 50% more if I had this job anywhere else except the entertainment industry. But, seeing as how the market in IT is so bad, I'm happy that I have a job, period. Having one that I enjoy so much makes it okay that I can't afford an apartment in LA.

It's a good job. Not hard, I get to do pretty much whatever I want, I listen to sports as part of my job, and I don't really have any *work* work to do.

i don't think anyone likes me at my job, and i work with my ex, suffice to say it's kinda miserable for me there, and it's a shame because it's a great foot (IT wise) in the door (boss seems to like me ok) and very laid back
