Oracle is a good place to work, but if you're used to being productive, be prepared to get less done or work overtime.

Business Outlook

Pros

Oracle is a huge, successful software development company, which means that software development IS the business, and development staff is not treated as just another cost center. Compensation and benefits are very good, and there is a great deal of flexibility when it comes to the hours one works. The ability to telecommute whenever it is necessary or convenient is also very nice.

Cons

Due to the breadth of software produced, a lot of time is spent integrating the products, which necessitates long release cycles. It's hard to get anything done quickly. There is also an abundance of process to control all of the continuous product integration, which also dampens one's ability to work quickly. Also, it is quite difficult to get promoted. The running joke is that you have to leave and come back to get a promotion.

It's ok to work at Oracle.

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible work arrangements. Equitable compensation package. Recognition (by immediate management) for a job well done.

Cons

I was part of the PeopleSoft takeover. Oracle is certainly a bigger company and a great deal of the familial atmosphere that was inherent of PeopleSoft is definitely lost. Albeit there is a reason Mr. Ellison makes the money he does and surely I represent just a small part of his employee population. It appears though, that executive management at PeopleSoft had a better knack for understanding what we, who are on the front/first line of ''combat'' with the clients, go through. Changes were instituted with both the client and us, in mind.
