Pros

Flexible hours. You can work remotely any time you want, if management allows it.

Tons of brilliant people to work with. Some of the most intelligent people are here and are very open, kind, and welcoming.

Never a dull moment; something is always interesting in the development pipeline.

Cons

Flexible hours also mean you could end up working overtime. There's a heavy start-up mentality despite all of the financial securities, and the benefits are not good enough in the long run.

There is heavy inequality; top coders get the same benefits as the worst ones. The only incentive to work is self-advancement.

Advice to Management

Share more of the overall mission for each and every team under the empire. Pay more attention to the people, less attention to the numbers. Given Oracle's position in the business world, we could do much better.
