I guess my experience is a bit different, since I was a math major.
Even in my first job, which was pretty much just cranking out business logic 9-5 I've learned a lot about databases, OO programming, UNIX and software development in general.
At the beginning you have so much to learn that even if you don't work for Google or Microsoft (they actually do a lot of non-trivial R&D) you will still probably be learning a lot.
