Oracle

Oracle is a highly stable, well-structured organization that will help you develop yourself into a better engineer. It may not be the most exciting software you'll ever write, but you'll learn great development practices and will always feel safe and secure in your job. There is always a clear path to advance your career, which is something that should never be taken for granted.

Working at Oracle can sometimes feel like a snapshot of the movie "Office Space" at times. It can be tedious, and the products are not particularly exciting.

I wish that middle management had a little more power in determining salary and bonuses, as it seems that they are somewhat hamstrung by the corporate structure in place when it comes to giving raises to deserving employees. On the other hand, this structure adds a lot of job security and helps get the products out the door, so it's an understandable tradeoff.
