Interesting technology. A bit narcissistic in the way they see and talk about themselves.

Researcher

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting technology and boundary conditions in the technical problems that one has to address.

Cons

They do not support people with vision who want try risky technology projects. A bit narcissistic in the way they see and talk about themselves; this self perception does not allow them to see what they are loosing. The emphasis in engineering of existing tools is producing an unnecessary reduction in innovation in research. The number of NT5 (new technologies 5 years) projects is almost null due to that approach.
