Oracle - Big Company Experience
Pros: Opportunity to view how an enormous company manages its sprawling, global operations
Variety of Global Business Units and core Oracle offer a wealth of opportunities
Excellent technical training benefits - Safari Online, support for continuous learning
Cons: The enormity of the company means that every group is a silo with a heavy weight process you have to learn and navigate to get anything done.
Continuous acquisition makes for opportunity but it also means acquired companies are under-resourced to learn their way through the Oracle labyrinth
Not a culture of "lessons learned"
Lots of independent, remote employees makes getting accountability and effective project management a challenge
