OSPF Area Design in Large Networks

Hello folks,

Being that my OSPF experience is limited to small environments with one area
(area 0) I would like to know how big companies do OSPF.
For example, when would they decide to create multiple areas?
How do they usually assign areas - by geographic area, by department, by
function?
Are virtual links common practice in the real world?

Thanks
