Oracle

Decent infrastructure. Good policies. Good brand name. Very little politics (would vary from team to team, but not very high overall). Good work-life balance.

The level of technology in the Applications Division had gone down, and the developers lacked overall vision, being made to work on a very small aspect of a product.

It was very difficult to grow technically in this atmosphere.

The company is more keen on buying customers via acquisitions rather than making good products.

Salary is below par for the industry.

Recognize and reward talent.

Provide good infrastructure for employees to grow in their respective paths. The policies on paper are aligned in that regard, but reality is totally different.
