A great organisation to work for if you have the requisite politcal skills.
Pros: Great company with a fantastic engineering culture. Very technology driven. Lots of smart people.
Cons: In Dublin you are an outlier organisation. Its difficult to impact what happens back at base and the core Engineering teams have little understanding or grasp of the issues impacting organisations and customers outside of the continental US.

Oracle stack ranks its employees which always leads to anomalies and dissapointments to mid range employees and the stack ranking system pays no attention to team performance.

Organisation is highly politicised and to be effective you must visit Redwood Shores at least once a quarter.
