Bangalore

Former Employee – worked at Sun Microsystems

ProsIt used to be an engineering company with great talents and you will get chance to prove yourself. and if you can prove then you certainly will be recognized.

ConsManagement is bit slow in taking decision. At India, instead of propagating the information and suggesting right things to to senior management, they usually tend to be in the receive mode only.

Advice to Senior ManagementI am not sure what is going on now after acquisition of Oracle. After acquisition, I hope it is going on better than what it used to be.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Bangalore

Former Employee – worked at Sun Microsystems

Pros> Genuine respect for employees
> Focussed roles - Developers only develop features, they don't fix customer bugs. Sustenance takes care of that.
> Incredible technologies - way too much to learn
> Extremely capable senior management
> Never pressured for time, and mentored well

Cons> Company needed more focus on how to earn money.

Advice to Senior ManagementI wish Sun till existed and wasn't sold away. I hope the Sun culture is still preserved after the transition to Oracle.
