"I am a senior who has been around for a while. I think Oracle has pockets of genius with some heavy bureaucracy. There are tons of resources to help but it's a very self directed company. If you don't visit an office regularly, there is a distinct lack of culture and camaraderie. The vision is spot on in terms of completely integrated systems. It could use fewer PowerPoint producers. PowerPoint decks are available for everything with the associated pros and cons. PowerPoint runs the company."
