My field is computer science."
What don't you like about working at Applied Research Associates?
"The constant changing of upper management (three division manager since I started May 2010) each having their own vision of what research we should be conducting. Unfortunately each manager's vision contradicts the previous manager's vision. Bottom line, there has not been a clear goal for our group over the past year."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Define a clear goal for your employees and show some condidence in their abilities. Upper management has shown some weakness over the past year."
