Pros

Once you are in a project with budget, you have the opportunity to grow. You have the right amount of time and flexibility for family or other hobbies.

Cons

The majority hoarders at Oracle try to use you and block your growth, rather than guide you and enable your growth. After some time, you tend to follow them. It is difficult to always do the right thing.

If you are part of a project without "strategic initiatives" or without budget, then life is relaxed and there is no personal or technical growth involved.

Advice to Management

Identify the people on your team who are sound technically and like to solve problems silently, without making any noise about them. Oracle is running smoothly because of them. Do not only promote people who make noise, create problems, and then solve them. They survive and grow only by pointing out problems.
