Oracle

Predictable. Hours are flexible. Pay is ok. Some managers are considerate. Good lunch choices (though not free). On-campus gym.

It's true that technologies that Oracle buys get no innovation unless they were already bringing in high margins.

There are too many incompetent people at Oracle, whether from cousins and friends being hired or just folks knowing they can get away with things.

Pay is not commensurate with experience or value to the company, but then this is probably true in many companies.

Here, PhD folks get hired who can't speak English and end up working on bugs, and even then, you wonder if they did things right.

Anyhow, if you want to work in a place and feel like you're already retired, this might be for you.

If you're looking for energy and innovation, well, keep looking.

Stop promoting your cousins.
