      Activity, but no mission

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great place to discover and develop skills. - Easy to distance oneself from crises by focusing on your "research." - Security in pay and benefits. - Great place to develop basic skills ("basic" for advanced technology development), then springboard to a more productive career some place else.

      Cons

      - No mission means a petty, personal service culture has developed and can get out of control. - Leaders are "technical leaders" and are extremely limited in their ability to lead people and teams. - SESers are "shoulder shruggers" who more often than not, fail to deliver for their people. - Favoritism abounds.
