Doing unsolicited security research against a competitor of your employer just sounds hugely ill-advised to me regardless of the findings.

I guess being in the security business changes my perspective on that a little. I'd not expect a competitor to specifically try and hack us, that would be quite the middle finger from their side, but if they come across something and disclose it then I'd send them a suitable thank-you gift (maybe some beer, depending on what they like) and a nice card.
