No fun...
Pros: Company makes money and is stable and relatively secure.
Good benefits with lots of choices.
Most employee HR needs are met with automated tools and generally are pretty good.
Cons: Strickly hierarchial, top down management style. Almost all decisions are made at the very top.
Process driven - no process, can't be done. Process to add/modify processes very challenging.
Salary increases (raises) seem to be rare.
Much of IT is "cost reduced"; poor performance and outages are common.
Closed proprietary culture. Very restrictive.
Does not innovate - Oracle buys companies. Risk averse.
Boring mediocre expensive products.
