Unfortunately, COSTCO is the exception in the large corporation world.  Wall street doesn't like them because they are too good to their employees (pay, benefits etc.) and there ave a long term growth strategy where they don't care too much about "This Quarters" numbers as long as they are on the correct path.  Wall Street can't comprehend that taking care of the customers and the employees will result in a beneficial outcome for its shareholders.

I wish I could recommend a large, well managed S/W company with a great product, but sadly, none comes to mind.  Unfortunately, my list of companies I will not do business with is far longer than the companies I would like to support.

I certainly can recommend a small company distributing Configuration Management software:  Qumasoft.com's QVCS-Pro.  I've used it for years.  They are constantly updating their product for ease of use and functionality.  Once, I discovered a (low-probability) bug that was introduced by an upgrade.  I notified the company via email - it was fixed by the next day.  Try getting that from Microsoft or Intuit.
