Have you worked at Oracle, or just bashing them for fun because they're a large successful company?

Yes, I have. And I'm not bashing them with this post, I'm just answering the OP's question. I know of a few people who are taking advantage of these traits right now, and they love it there.

As for the bureaucracy comment - it's real. If you're in dev and need a server, your request will end up going through Larry Page's office. When the CEO's office needs to be involved in cross-departmental requests, that's the very definition of red tape.

Cool. I've never worked there, but I appreciate that your comment came from personal experience.

Also, Oracle sounds super bureaucratic if you actually need approvals from the Google CEO! ;-)

Whoops. Larry Ellison. :D
