Oracle is known for being very aggressive with litigation and legal threats, exceptionally so even vs the other tech giants.

On the other hand, I know an oracle dev that suffered a horrible accident and took two years to rehabilitate. Oracle kept him on paid leave that whole time despite it being unrelated to the workplace and past their usual policy.

So based on that my understanding of them now is that they're more than a bit hostile/malignant to those outside the mothership, but not necessarily evil to each other inside it.

Like the Mafia.

This is almost exclusively about the manager of that person. It's very rarely such facts speak about the company as a whole.
