This comes across to me as more of a rant, than a constructive exit description from a company. When hiring new candidates, and doing background checks alarm bells would go off if I saw people whining about their previous jobs in a blog post. Be professional, accept that some jobs are shit, and find a new one. This post will do you no favours in the future.

I interned at a big telcom and worked at a bank. Amount of crappy software that needs to be used is mindboggling. Amount of money that is spent to license that crapware is even more mind boggling.

There is a real market for these beautiful b2c software products that can make their services store data on the bigco's servers (as opposed to their own - security is a concern) and write decent, mostly .NET interface to communicate with the company dabatabases.

I cannot comment on the inner working of Samsung or a similar corporation of that size. But having grown up on a farm I can very much sympathize with the joy and, can we call it freedom, farming has to offer.

I often wonder if we, who code and spend quite a bit of our lifetime in front of computer displays have distanced ourselves from the nature around us a bit too much from time to time.

It's not a question of scale, it's a question of management. Companies like Samsung, others and etc are managed by idiots. Pure and simple. Suit wearing, non-technical morons.

Congratulations on your new job, exercise, fresh air and freshly picked berries and vegetables. Sounds pretty decent compared to sitting in front of a screen slaving for knock-off phones with shitty vendored junk.

Seeing the company you work for doing commercials like http://thenextweb.com/shareables/2013/04/29/a-terrible-idea-... (even if it was by a third party PR company) is kinda.. weak.
