Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: current

Stable company with conservative design
Pros: Slow-moving pace means a great work-life balance. Also Oracle compensates very well, both with salary and other benefits.
Cons: There is a lot of political inertia here, it's a conservative culture, and ultimately this is a developer-driven organization. Designs always get cut and scaled back. Truly creative designs are unlikely to get built and shipped here. You will end up spending at least as much time on organization and project logistics/management as you do on design.
