Hershey Company is #1? Interesting, lets see what job offers they have:

Software Engineer - Manufacturing Systems
Physical Demand:
    Frequently: Sit, stand, walk, crawl, squat/crouch, twist, bend, grasp, lift up to 25 pounds
    Rarely: Lift/maneuver/move objects weighing 50-100 pounds with a team

lolwut?

Yeah, my old company did this one year. They wanted to make the list, so they encouraged employees to do something [I think it was write in a nomination but I can't be sure].

That wouldn't be called a Software Engineer I would think.

What do you think software engineers work on for Hershey? They don't make chocolate in a cloud factory. Factory automation needs iron moved around, and there you go.

I'm sorry you wouldn't think so. I've seen far sketchier.

All I was saying is that Server Admins in a DC aren't likely the Software Engineers.

Software engineers at Hershey's probably run the gamut from embedded programming to web developers. An organization their size requires a lot of software.

Edit: My initial comment was more hostile than I had intended. Sorry.

lmao do you think software developers at oil companies are next to the drill with a giant wrench?
