Pros

We're acquiring some of the best-in-breed software and are serious about tying them together to form best-in-class industry solutions. It's the Cisco model applied to software, and thanks to SOA, it's working. For people who have been acquired, the pace can seem slower, but if you can correctly leverage the huge sales force and pipeline, there is a huge customer base that you can sell to.

Cons

Larry's hatred of Microsoft means we have to avoid their stuff wherever possible. We don't use Exchange servers, and our email system is clumsy and painful. We seem to rewrite even basic applications for internal use - why are we using "Oracle Chat" when there are at least ten good alternatives already out there? Comp is on the low side, but they do give out options.

Pros

Great company with a fantastic engineering culture. Very technology driven. Lots of smart people.

Cons

In Dublin you are an outlier organisation. Its difficult to impact what happens back at base and the core Engineering teams have little understanding or grasp of the issues impacting organisations and customers outside of the continental US. Oracle stack ranks its employees which always leads to anomalies and dissapointments to mid range employees and the stack ranking system pays no attention to team performance. Organisation is highly politicised and to be effective you must visit Redwood Shores at least once a quarter.
