      Potentially a good place to spend a few years (four at most), but think carefully before you join.

      Pros

      Superb work-life balance with a very flexible work schedule. Very professional company with competent, professional staff. Great opportunity for a self-starter to learn management and organizational skills.

      Cons

      Hiring process took nine months. Mentors are non-existent. Performance reviews are usually skipped every year, or not taken seriously. Very poor career growth opportunities. Project management skills are very poor across the board. Salary stayed the same the entire time I worked there, even though I outperformed every year - it's not unusual to be underpaid 20-30% after spending a long time at Oracle. Architecture is a decade old - which means few opportunities to learn new technical skills, and any advanced skills you have will atrophy.

      Pros

      Oracle makes great products ad employs some brilliant people. I am in engineering so my comments speak to that organization. The benefits are top notch and the resources are good I.e. the hardware we use etc. No, we do not get our own Exadata full rack!

      Cons

      It is a big company so there are waves of politics to wade through if you want to get ahead. You. Need to play the game because rest assured, others are. If you really want to advance in engineering, you need to work in Redwood Shores. Also, the bonuses and stock options have been WAY down in recent years at least for our group.
