Oracle review
Pros: Good benefits and salary.   Flexible work schedule.  Good people at the individual contributor level.
Cons: Poor management, lack of useful direction and communication.  Frequent changes in processes and tools, constant re-orgs and changes in direction.  Quarterly stealth layoffs.  Frequent position freezes which prevent moving into other groups.  This also inhibits promotions, have to wait until someone above you dies, and then hope their position is not frozen for months on end.  Endless meetings and conference calls, which are somehow seen as real work.
