Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

What don't you like about working at Sun Microsystems?

"It was too volatile. They didn't know how to compete against the application-set from Microsoft and everyone was worried about being laid-off on Thursday. Thursday was the notification day for termination."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"There seem to be many cults within the company. Too frequently the compete against each other. For example Java Soft was a stand-alone division making great market penetration however, the decision was made that they were too successful and were brought back into the center-line development effort of Sun Microsystems. They should have been left as a business unit with their own traceable revenuies."
