> Says something about how they value technical people.
I don't know much about Oracle but I have heard, FWIW, that they are one of the few remaining companies that really does and did whatever they could to not lay droves of folks off during the slow down. It's kind of hard to get a job there but they'll keep you forever if you do. I'm not sure how true that is or isn't.
Maybe not the sexiest titles but if that's true it shows that they do value employees.
It's typical of non-technical middle managers that their value is proportional to the number of people they supervise - so they all fight to keep the size of 'their' people.
It doesn't mean that conditions there are any good.

They value head count.
