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.

Advice to Management

Make more of an effort to retain your talent by providing reasonable bonuses and raises. Once these high performers leave, they're not coming back.
