I do. For me, it's an outdoor company and so the work fits my lifestyle and interests; climbing, backcountry skiing, being active, etc..
But as for work, I'll agree with johnny_wobble and rascuache. The graphic design department sits in marketing and I feel it doesn't get the respect it deserves. Everyone thinks they know best, and getting assets or a plan for the season to develop ideas is like pulling teeth. Coming from a couple small design studios, I found the politics within a bigger company were a bit of a shock to me. I find that if you are making a difference in improving design and doing new projects it's a lot of fun, but if you just end up being a production artist cranking out the same stuff year after year with new content, it can be boring. You need to find the right company that will allow growth and exploration of design. The steady paycheque is nice.
