Pros

Some great technologists working there. Lots of software products on which to work. A fairly good benefits package. Supports work-from-home.

Cons

Very political environment (almost caustic at times).

Those at Oracle via acquisition are often held at arms' length, as second-class citizens.

Top-down communication can be abysmal.

Way too many products on the price list (again, due to constant acquisitions).

Very poor handling of mass layoffs.

Advice to Management

Communicate to the rank and file better; don't treat employees from acquisitions as second-class citizens; figure out your hardware strategy.
