I do happen to work at Cloudera (hence the Impala submissions), although I'm neither an ex-Oracle DBA nor a huge believer that they're evil. I really don't have a lot of first-hand experience with Oracle as a company - which as you'll see, is why my submission was actually a question about the community's perception and why that's a common view.
Hey, I've recently begun the interview process at Cloudera, would you mind sending me an email? My address is in my profile, and I'd love to ask you a couple questions.
