Has a great brand representative and a good place to work if you want to have an experience at a Silicon Valley company. Good location Salary Nice people Work-life balance Perks

Incompetent people - Nice does not mean they are smart and can do their job Too much effort to promote its company culture Not a tech company, it's a database company No significant life-changing product updates Political - once your area is crossed off from investment, you are done
