Difficult to generalize a large company

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Oracle is a low-stress environment with some incredibly brilliant people if you dig around for them. Corporate policies tend to be antiquated and slow to adapt, but they do adapt.

Cons

Unrealistic college hiring standards and weak raises with dry promotions create a revolving door for top engineers, while low performers are just endlessly "reorganized" instead of being fired, continuously diluting the talent.
