Very Poor Culture and Bad Customer Approach
Pros: Oracle is a rich company and some of the products are very good
Cons: Very poor culture inside the company from the top down.  5 layers of VP from CEO to the Major Act Mgr level.  Many product "pillars" (teams) competing  within the Org driving different product solutions and engagements with the same customers and contacts.    Constant internal conflict between teams within the company and confusing messaging to customers who are unable to find a trusted advisor.  Sales planning sessions are little more than beating sessions for management to fault those at lower levels.  Very uncompetitive base salary for an Org where sales opportunities can be killed overnight by competing sales interests within the company.  Some customers have experienced multiple large scale failures of core technology in production environments and are working hard to move away. 
 Oracle has some excellent people at the low levels of the Org working directly with customers and some excellent people at the top driving big initiatives.
