Good place to retire
Pros: It's a port in the storm. While chaos reigns in Silicon Valley, Oracle has seen steady growth, and is a very stable company. Also, barring layoffs, it's very hard to get fired.
Cons: It's a very top-down command-and-control structure. Lower level employees don't get any authority. Pretty much everything has to be cleared at the top. This causes unnecessary delays, and results in lost opportunities in pretty much everything.
