Former Employee – worked at Oracle full-time for more than a year

ProsOracle appeared to be a good and equitable company to work for but I was only with them a short time following their acquisition of Sun Microsystems. I would have very liked to have had a longer stay but I was unfortunately a casualty of the takeover

ConsI don't believe that Oracle took the time to assess the talent base that they inherited from Sun. Being a large company with greater than 90K personnel the effort to reassign workers affected by the takeover was minimal

Advice to Senior ManagementDuring the takeover the Oracle management cut a lot of talent and maintained a lot of mediocre management in the bay area that had lead Sun to it's demise. Didn't seem to make a lot of sense.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
