I head up product for the data side of EventBoard (http://eventboard.io) and what we see is that it is typical for employees at large companies (>1000 employees) to have around 15 meetings a week, taking up about 10 actual hours, but the standard deviation is pretty wild.
We ran the numbers for our dev team specifically, and they have ~8.5 meetings a week, taking up ~4.2 hours. We’re a smaller company; but data shows that on average, developers spend less time in meetings than the rest of their collective co-workers. More interestingly, this data shows that each company has a unique culture around meeting behaviors, and so your meeting schedule will be a function of your ‘big corp’ collaboration culture. Would love to talk more if you have questions!
