Pros

Clean, relaxed, professional work environment. Some truly talented individuals to learn from.

Cons

So many. Career dead end, corporate politics. Corporate culture stifles initiative, innovation, creativity, and inventiveness. Cost of living raises don't really keep up with the cost of living. The odds are that you will be doing the exact same job you were hired for in 5 years without a material, meaningful raise. So many layers of middle management, all desperate to take credit for any successes, big or small. There has to be a seismic event to shake loose tiny crumbs of recognition for the doers.

Advice to Management

Imagine how much more value the shareholders would realize from their investment if Oracle were capable of innovating on a way to reduce the never-ending layers of middle management.
