That pretty much sums up my thoughts on it - just wondered how others perceive it. Going by that I take it you are?
I'm currently in the early stages of writing my professional review but I've recently moved to a 'small' company with a very small minded mentality, ie full of people who think its a waste of time. For me I think its worth it, as like you say big organisations value it, plus I do quite fancy contracting/self employed in the future.
where do you guys work out of interest? company I'm with currently (Sewtec Automation) are an OEM of special purpose automation equipment for food/tobacco industry.
