Company: Oracle

Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Junior

Bureaucratic, Inefficient
Pros: Benefits, facilities, and name recognition are great.
Smart people in some of the LOBs (Finance, Product Development, Consulting)
Cons: No sense of cohesion across the various departments of the company; finance, sales, product development, legal, HR, etc. all of the LOBs are very siloed.
Furthermore, groups within the same line of business (eg. sales) are motivated by only their self-interest, not Oracle's, let alone the customer; this results in a culture of internal competition and a dog-eat-dog environment. 
Career progression is very silo-ed, arbitrary, process-driven, and riddled in protocol.
