      Pros

      The pension benefit in Sweden is really competitive. Oracle do own some seriously interesting tech to work with, and if you get into the right team there are some brilliant people which is fun to work with. I have never felt pressured to work overtime, but always felt great respect for work/life balance.

      Cons

      The entire company is bureaucratic and inefficient. As an engineer, you could not get an extra screen, but you could order an extra laptop instead. Everything is very hierarchic, where arbitrary instructions from "high up" seemed badly connected to reality. There is a strong US bias, where even though it is a global organization, the European employees is not really worth as much as their American counterparts. You should not expect any regular pay raises, unless you are favourited by the management; that is not "the Oracle way". There are no collective agreement ("kollektivavtal") that guarantees regular salary revisions.
