Too heavy-weight processes (waterfall), too many levels of management (11), and outdated development tools make it hard to make a difference. You will have to follow established rules even if you know how to do things better. Compensation is lower than competitors'.
Replace waterfall with agile, upgrade the tools and development practices, increase compensation, and figure out how to make it cool to work at Oracle again. Maybe host meetups, organize internal hackathons, and let people contribute to open-source projects.
