Reasons Why I Like Working at Sun
Here are some of the reasons why I am happy to be working at Sun Microsystems. What are yours?
1.
People. It feels great to be among intelligent, funny and interesting people. The concentration of idiots is very low in Sun.
2.
Squash. I can play squash during launch break. We have in Prague a squash league and as I spend around 10 hours a day at the computer I appreciate I can refresh myself with sport.
3.
Technologies. I can work with latest Java, JDS, Linux, Solaris, J2EE, J2ME... whatever. It's nice to have something to play with.
4.
Time to study. I can spend part of my job by improving my skills and knowledge. There's always what to improve.
5.
Blogging. I am allowed to blog. Even encouraged to blog. I can spread the holy word of
NetBeans.
6.
Work from home. Starting by this week it's possible for me to work one day in a week remotely. Not only it saves 2 hours for transport, it also helps to concentrate on my work. And I can have music playing laud as much as I want.
7.
Freedom. I can choose how my day at work will look like. Nobody's ordering me that I have to do this or that and as long as I do my job well I can choose my priorities.
8.
English. I have great English classes where I can improve my communication skills. Maybe my grammar will get better, too, although I still doubt it.
9.
Communication. Part of my job is communication with the community around NetBeans. It's interesting to exchange opinions with people from all around the world.
10.
I don't have to wake up early. This one is self-explaning, isn't it?
11.
Fun. As you can see elsewhere in my blog, there are people here who have good sense of humor.
There are also few things which don't make me so happy when working at Sun. I will not post them here because I could get into serious troubles with my manager :-)
