Deep engineering oriented culture that values and encouraged innovation

Santa Clara, CA

Former Employee – worked at Sun Microsystems full-time for more than 10 years

Pros. Deeply intellectual and very engineering-oriented culture
. Valued innovation
. Challenging technical problems to work on
. Respect for the individual

Cons. Loose management
. Some lack of strategic and marketing clarity
. Occasional policy of "drift"

Advice to Senior Management. Tighten management, while not losing the benefits of engineering satisfaction
. Clarify strategic focus and long-term vision
. Don't drift
. Continue to respect the individual contributor and continue to encourage innovation
