Pros
Critics have complained Oracle has been slow to migrate to the cloud. Management is keen to reverse that. From a technological aspect, this is a meaningless distinction. However, from a sales perspective, this presents a drastic departure from the classic licensing model Oracle has grown to depend on. The company is in the midst of a mid-life crisis as it re-evaluates everything it does. Pros: It's an exciting moment to work at Oracle; the old rule books are being thrown out. Bold ideas are in demand.
Cons
Cons: People hate change. Employees and customers alike are anxious to know where this will ultimately lead Oracle.
