Avantages
After joining Oracle, you can see how small small group work together / not work together / fight with each other. If you can survive in a small group foes < 2 years, you are the champ & would have no problem in another other company. You get a change to work on critical account ( if part of consulting / field support) & see how to DUMP & RUN with customer issues, blame customer / his employees for all the problems created by Oracle software. You also get a chance to meet some vert talented & best software guru's in the industry.
Inconvénients
Do not care about employees much, but so much worry for Wall Street results, know how to save money - with no employees travel. They will waste millions of dollars in Open World, entertaing customers, but when its time to share wealth with employees,its like pulling teeth from the manager. Most of the managers have been @ Oracle for more than 15 years & reach a stage where they won't quit Oracle, unable to keep up with technological advances, won't be in touch with customers. Bars for engineers has been going up n up while managers have been lucky with not much work to do.
