As a developer/engineer, when you're looking for a tech position with a company, one interesting way of assessing the work environment is seeing how many desktops run some form of Linux. While in some companies you may see Macs running, seeing Linux as a choice for engineers is even more impressive, considering how it's not really considered a standard for desktop environments. But if you're able to run Linux as your desktop of choice, then it means that the company gives you a fair amount of freedom as an engineer (meaning you'll get the root/admin access rights to your system).
Not all companies do this, but I find companies who entrust their employees with their desktop make a heavy statement about their working environment.
