Good. As a former employee, I can assure you that working at Oracle was a complete and total arbitrary mess.
The company has 133,000 employees, of which 80,000 are sales people.
Many don't show up to work. Like ever. And I don't mean like, "Oh I'm working from home"-- I mean don't work. And they still receive salary AND more importantly bonus checks/commission.
Have you ever seen someone be paid $90,000 for a deal they didn't work on? I have. Hundreds of times, often to the same rep. Oracle has a "sales team" for certain accounts, so most of the work/relationship is guarded by the "principal rep". The others get paid for doing no work as a "secondary rep". Those roles are handed out based on nepotism.
Most of the time spent by employees at the office involves beer pong, 3 hour lunches, fake meetings and trainings, and the occasional cold call to a telephone directory ("fake dials", as we would call them).
And this is not even talking about Oracle's terrible pricing for actual users, its pitiful legal/open source history, and its pitiful customer service.
Seriously. Corporations are bad. Oracle is worse.
