    Sun Microsystems Anonymous:   (Current Employee)

    Pros

    Company is now imploding on itself
    Most Senior Management have completely disappeared
    Middle Management still trying to do their best
    Superb work/life balance
    Great colleagues

    Cons

    The sadness that a once great company is soon to be no more
    The workload is getting heavier
    Job cuts being made in the wrong area and now affecting customer satisfaction

    Advice to Senior Management

    At least make the effort to be visible....
    Hopefully the good ones will make the transition and the bad ones recognised and let go
