Demoralizing Oracle's Work Environment
Pros: Few intelligent and hard working consultants and managers are keeping the Melbourne Practice afloat.
Cons: There are too many politicians and goofers in Oracle who have been there for long and only god knows how they are managing to hold on to their jobs when the deserving and billable consultants are being laid off by jerk Practice Directors. 

Sr. Management in Sydney and Singapore are aloof of what the hell is happening on ground in Melbourne. All they care about is their freaking Gross Margin. NO Work Life balance, Mon-Fri, Sat, Sun are the same. No respect for time as you would get calls at odd hours with unrealisitc deadlines and expectations. They expect you to have no spouse or kids and devote all your time to Larry's empire in contributing to their gross margin. 

No salary hikes in 2-3 years due to the (ha ha ha ...G F..ing C; Global Financial Crisis) yet Oracle has managed to post increasing profits in past 2-3 years.
