This is a burner account, so take it with a grain of salt etc. but I used to work at Oracle in a senior management role and honestly the culture was horrible and very incompatible with me (I stayed there for a few years trying to 'work it out' though because I thoughts I was maybe just me and that I was soft etc.).. I worked in middleware and we were over selling average software, people were cut throat horrible to eachother, we spent more time internally competing against other departments and arguing about who'd get which slice of the customer's money rather than working with the customer, providing value and beating the competition. Nobody knows the company mission and its quite a cold and hostile place to work. That was my opinion but most of my colleagues and friends who left felt all the same things. I would NEVER recommend working at Oracle to anyone I cared about even if it paid twice what they earn now.
