Oracle

Wonderful team, huge brands to contribute to, great office location, awesome place to learn and be taught your craft, solid benefits, and the work-life balance was good.

Every pitfall that accompanies working for such a large corporation exists here, and is exacerbated due to Oracle's sheer size. It's very hard to get a raise, your role is very rigidly defined, and the bottom line will always come before employee satisfaction. Getting anything through the bureaucracy takes way too much time, and projects really suffer because of it.

It's the same with interviews and employment offers; the process is unbelievably slow. It's ridiculous, and I'd had enough.

Stop giving yourself raises and share the wealth. I'm looking at you, Mark Hurd, and also you, Safra Catz.

Also, find a way to streamline getting things through approval processes.
