This department can offer a new public-oriented mission. In spite of, or perhaps because of the recent breakup, the company is continuing to invest in research. Research areas include databases, programming languages, software engineering, speech, cryptography and security, human factors, collaborative applications, and more. Manny departments will be hiring. Like the former Bell Labs, the work environment is informal but intense and intellectually rigorous.
