      OK, but lots of potential to be better

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good pay and benefits, good management practices. Your managers are always willing to listen. Decisions that are made at the lower management levels are usually very good.

      Cons

      With Large companies you can get lost in the masses. The communications up the management chain can be laborious (you really have to push to move things up the ladder).

      Not a good place to be if you want to be productive

      Principal software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible time and good benefits. One good part about Oracle is you can keep your personal life. There is no limited sick days or work from home days. Management will also approve regular working from home schedule which is very nice.

      Cons

      Too much politics and no direct guidence of product direction. Too complex of development environment to be productive. Just like any big companies, you are not recognized by the good work you did. The bonus and salary raise often tie to your manager's relationship with senior management.
