Company in decline
Pros: - Oracle has a reputation which serves them both good and bad. On the good side, Oracle loyalists are easy to work with and the network is strong and widespread

- Oracle pays, at least in Spain, a high salary compared to the average. 

- Once you have worked at Oracle, at lot of doors opens up at other companies, as the reputation is still intact
Cons: - The company seems to have lost foothold through late arrival to the Cloud trend, but also in the way the treat customers and partners.

- Especially partners are treated oppesite of Microsoft partners,  which gain from being part of MS network. Oracle charges their partners and give them very little business, even the sale staff are in some way competing with the partners in order not to lose commission.

- Oracle has an thick layer of managers and 99% are only doing one thing, sending their sales staff excel sheets about their sales and forecast. The word forecast is word of all time, everyone are always talking about forecast and if you can do that you can become a manager.
