Employment status: former

Great company that is headed down due to a few type A executives with abnormal psychology
Pros: It looks good on your resume. Its a great place to learn about enterprise software. One should join Oracle for 1 or 2 years, learn a lot, meet people and then move on fast. It does provide a good work life balance but you need to be careful and not get cocooned. Lots of opportunities to move within the company can help you transform your job.
Cons: Oracle has a top down management style. All the ideation and strategy is driven by top management. It is very hard to get recognized at this big company. Some managers are nice while others are outright disrespectful and mean. Its a mix.
