Pros

As a research assistant, I was frequently given free rein to try new technologies and see how they might be applied to real-world applications. It can be exciting to take something new from the lab and actually oversee its implementation as a pilot in a customer setting, and to be able to take the feedback directly back to the lab in a continuous improvement cycle.

Cons

It was a temporary assignment and had to come to an end.

Advice to Management

Sometimes older employees are worth keeping around.

They have much knowledge they can impart to the new kids on the block.

Many of them are not dated with antiquated skills as many think, but stay abreast of the latest technology and can see value and application of new technology.
