Larry Ellison is a tenacious visionary.  I admire that he goes after and gets what he wants.
Cons: Larry Ellison has no soul.
No salary increases for 5-10 years for Support employees, yet the world's 5th richest man is in charge.  Not even cost of living increase.  I am talking about employees who are consistently rated 4 and 5 on performance reviews.
Oracle takes the cheap way out by offshoring most jobs.
No support jobs are backfilled in the US.
Managers have no influence over work conditions, this is all done at a much higher level where no one knows what Support does.
Many layers between support and customers in order to hide problems from the upper management.

Management believes # of cases worked is a measure of productivity vs looking at quality and complexity.
