Oracle's work culture problems - too many middle managers who do nothing
Pros: Very large company and there are many opportunities to try different things.   for those starting out in technology or are early in their career, the opportunities are endless.  Great benefits, great training availability.
Cons: Very poor management and leadership.  Promotions handed out more due to seniority than competency.  Poor work culture, too political.  Successful careers are identified with ability to expand and build your empire, which forces ambitious and motivated people to emulate those activities rather than build competencies to be truly successful in a new position.  No one ever gets fired or reprimanded for failure, which there is alot of at Oracle.  Dates are always missed, people are not held accountable.
