Pros

Generally, hours are not bad. You can work at home often. Working in the internal database team will involve interesting projects.

Cons

The environment is not very friendly. More senior engineers can treat "lower" engineers very dismissively. There are not many opportunities for career advancement, as the database team is very mature.

Advice to Management

Many new hires leave within the first year. The cutthroat environment is driving many good engineers away, as there are plenty of other opportunities out there with companies that have much more cachet than Oracle.
