Pros

There are a lot of opportunities that you could see in the business sector. Oracle, as a leading company in this field, has a lot to offer. At the strategy level, the company is expanding aggressively into cloud computer software services, with its advantages in terms of capital and scale. The core database business is not developing as fast as the emerging internet+ unicorns. The culture here is pretty friendly. You could meet different sorts of people. However, the more aggressive ones often opt to join more start-up-based companies. You could have your own schedule to manage things, and it is more likely for you to have a good balance in work and life.

Cons

Some may say it's not as rewarding or as challenging as they want it to be. The hourly pay is definitely among the best.

Advice to Management

A clear scope with a more agile-based development methodology would be appreciated. I honestly think the management is doing a great job by keeping the company culture stable and yet developing on their own.
