I work for what was a local small company 3 years ago and is now a global medium company due to a series of mergers. My specific division is run exceptionally well in the sense that we take care of the guys and they take care of business. Hell when I ask people what kind of incentives they are interested in, time not working, is a rare request and our salary structure is at the low end of the scale for most of our job categories. But we are constantly resisting the affects of "going corporate", it can be tough but if you get enough people working together to do it, it works.
