Innovation Lacking
Pros: - large company with good benefits packages and multiple locations
- embraces remote work/virtual teams to allow employees to remain where they are vs relocating
- exhibits strong financial performance
Cons: - rather than innovating, Oracle buys existing technologies and either re-brands them or runs them to the ground. this does not promote an innovative, creative workforce
- de-centralized corporate culture means that your experience could be positive or negative, depending on the division you work in - inconsistent management and policies
- lack of work-life-balance. they expect more than what seems ethically responisble from their employees in regards to hours worked per week. it was common for 80+ hours in a week. the company should staff appropriately to get quality from their employees, not quantity.
