I reckon it depends on the size of the company you work for too. Obviously there will be always some errors and problems but there is also quite a lot of thinking and creative work to be done. Especially if the team is not massive and you take part in decision making process. Not exactly the "turn this coffee into code" type of job.

My friend working in a oil industry/software company (quite big) told me once - here you only get noticed when you manage to screw up something.
