Yesterday, Sun CTO
Greg Papadopoulos welcomed applications from Sun Engineering to the 2007-2008 SEED
mentoring terms for Recent Hires and Established Staff. SEED program participants are
expected to rise to the top of Sun Engineering’s individual contributor or management ranks.
We will accept up to 80
participants, half Recent Hires and half Established Staff. There have already been
7 applications submitted. All applications are due 1 June with other materials
(resume, letters of recommendation, etc.) due 8 June. The terms formally start in
September 2007. As usual, SEED’s four General Selection Criteria are:
- All Participants are in Engineering.
- Only regular Sun employees may participate.
- Superior annual performance ratings are preferred.
- Manager support is required.
The SEED 4-Site term (Bangalore, Beijing, Prague, St. Petersburg) is almost fully
matched. 47 mentoring pairs are already working together. 4 participants are still
in discussion with potential mentors. I hope to finish matching this term before
June.
