Pros

-Benefits - Access to technologies and training

Cons

-No pay increases (been here for 3 years and not a single cost of living adjustment). -Must work extra hours so that group that you work for within the company meets their quarterly revenue forecasts (no extra pay for this by the way). -Scheduled training can be cancelled if revenue projections are falling short for the quarter.

Pros

- Pay not as poor as people say. Engineer/Analyst pay above standard DBA pay rates. - Management have always been flexible and understanding with requests for time off, vacation, training. - Pretty much go on as many training courses of various types as you want. - Opportunities to work with acknowledged technical experts and work/transfer abroad

Cons

- Pay rises are non-existent. - A promotion does NOT mean a payrise. - Customers and Sr management expect engineers to know everything about ALL Oracle products - Management do not value technical skills. Believe anyone can do this job and hence outsource to low-cost countries such as Romania and Egypt.

Pros

Acquisitions mean that staff are geographically spread: Oracle has not insisted that staff move to HQ, so working hours and attendance are extremely flexible.

Cons

The company has become increasingly penny-pinchingly cost conscious, keeping a tight reign on salary, eroding health benefits, travel and entertainment - and not providing hardware for engineers - we salivate at some of the Google stories. Some of us even have CRT monitors!
