Pros: * Good salary * Irish people are naturally good

Cons: Horrible, horrible place to work. Mad people, super low standards in technology, as well as in communication. Never go to the Linux department. The higher management is completely disconnected. No reviews, no interviews, no discussions with me in 2 years, even when I left. No understanding of who they blame for failed projects, which more or less are all projects. So much bullying and harassment that this should be investigated by police. This cannot ever happen with Irish people, but they are all foreigners working from the US. Had to leave and lost lots of stock units.

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, coupled with dry promotions, create a revolving door for top engineers. Meanwhile, low performers are "reorganized" instead of being fired, continuously diluting the talent.

Pros: It depends on which group you're in.

Cons: Working groups are very different.
