Pros
  • Benefits were good; super cheap health, dental, and vision insurance.
  • Recognition of name in the tech industry when applying to other jobs.
Cons
  • Spineless leadership that lays off thousands, then can't even call them "layoffs" later in a company-wide address.
  • Mountains of technical debt, bad/no documentation.
  • Joys of having an entire parallel team laid off, so all the responsibilities fall on you.
Advice to Management

Cerner was a great company. It had its flaws, but it still had some life in it.

You, Oracle, have sucked all the remaining life out of Cerner's now dead corpse. But this is what massive corporate companies do: buy a struggling tech company for their clients/tech and strip it of all the people that actually cared about their jobs, and re-brand everything as your own.

So, job well done, Oracle.
