Pros

Overall, the corp tries to benefit everyone by adding a so-called 'open corp culture'.

Cons

Financial and enterprise run using ORCL, which is a dead horse being dragged through the mud. Corporate and IT members who helped select and run it justify it to the detriment of the business. Don't suggest alternatives to the middle managers, as they won't see it.

Advice to Management

Make a decision and move on. Don't hold back the company by holding on to the boat anchor and the people who manage it.
