Oracle Culture
Pros: Company aggressively adds sales headcount and invests in training.    Products are solid and Oracle is rapidly innovating in cloud applications.   Strong business leader in Mark Hurd.
Cons: Poor culture of empowering leaders.  Leadership roles have literally almost zero decision making authority.   All processes require multiple levels of automated approvals all the way to the CEO minus 1 level.    This makes for extremely slow decision making, poor communications, long cycle times and constant pre-calls to brief all levels of the org prior to approvals.
