Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: current

Work for Oracle for a few years to build skills and use it as a stepping stone to advance to a next company.
Pros: Working for Oracle looks good on your CV, highly visible to the outside world. A lot to learn, a lot room to grow. Everyone knows Oracle, powerful value proposition. High growth strategy.
Cons: The company is one big operational excellence machine. A lot of hidden work in self-service processes, lowering worker productivity (but not visible). Oracle doesn't really care about its people, more about shareholder value.
