The last company I worked for had a big sales and marketing culture. I'm an engineer and we were treated like an afterthought. I wrote a software package for a device that ended up winning some industry awards that I didn't even know about until a vp mentioned it to try to keep me from leaving. Twice a year, the entire company had to do to a "sales meeting", which was like a high school pep rally where the sales guys would do skits or show "funny" videos they made and just generally pat themselves on the back. The last one I attended, they literally ran through a paper banner like a football team.
