Oracle is a cancer. Their hostility to their own customers is inexcusable. My company recently suffered through an Oracle audit, and we're being basically extorted to buy Oracle cloud products to avoid a lawsuit.

Their corporate culture is just rotten from the top down. Their sales reps' word is worthless, and the attitude is not "How can I help the customer," but "What's my leverage?" Sales people are trained not to find the right fit for their customers, but to exploit their ignorance. They take advantage of customers using opaque terms of service, bullying tactics, and outright deception. It's like they got their business ethics from watching Goodfellas and The Sopranos.
