You know, I am self-employed and I never bothered with these corporations before or wondered what sort of benefits or bonuses employees get. But seeing these lists, I have a new appreciation for how tough it is to get employed by these companies, and as I have friends working in such companies like PricewaterhouseCoopers, Procter & Gamble, Siemens and Shell, I have a new respect for them. It certainly is not easy getting in, harder to hold on to the job, I think.
