Oracle

Big brand.

Good growth opportunities if you're in California or India.

Compensation sucks. Too many acquisitions in recent years means the company doesn't have a culture anymore. Moreover, in all the layoffs that happened at the Denver office (4 layoffs), not even a single manager was let go, while hundreds of individual contributors were shown the door. This is so unusual for a tech company, and reveals how the politics at the Denver office works. Most of the Denver managers have been there for a long time because they are incompetent and won't find work elsewhere. This has created a culture of favoritism and mediocrity.

For Denver management: Be more open and fair to your employees, and lose the old J.D. Edwards habits of favoritism and petty politics.
