Kontras
Oracle is BIG.. and as such politics are par for the course. However, for the most part, its a bunch of smart people all trying to do well in their jobs.. It does seem like middle management gets in the way of the workers and sometimes doesn't clearly present the real problems to snr management so they can do something about it. So overall.. just the communication flow and the agility of the organization seems to be slow -- like an elephant.
