Oracle has some of the most brilliant people I've ever worked with and an excellent working environment. It's not as sexy as Google or Facebook, but we are working on cutting-edge stuff, and I feel like the people I work with are some of the smartest in the field.

I still feel like I have a ton of stuff to learn, and there are a ton of cool new things on the horizon to build. I've peeked around at the other top places in the area, and none have impressed me or offered me anything I don't have right now.
One uniquely nice thing about Oracle is that when people say cool stuff is going to happen "in a few months," it actually does happen in a few months. I feel like our upper management is really advocating for us.
Oracle Cloud sucks, and we're obviously stuck with it. The legal department is pretty much a waste of air and water, but what legal department isn't?
