No growth opportunities, low pay, poor upper management
Pros
- medical benefits, dental benefits, vision benefits - 401k meet - most of the direct team knows their stuff, and will be your best friends throughout your time at Oracle
Cons
- low pay that doesn't even meet what other corporations are paying for the same position. - infrequent pay increases. No cost-of-living increases, either. - no bonuses - support is minimal, especially with a small team in a specific department - upper management will not listen. They are not leaders; they act like "bosses". They will tell others to fix the problem; they do nothing but delegate. - equipment is a joke. Laptops are refurbished, and any additional equipment (e.g., additional monitors) you may need you may need to expense out-of-pocket. Laptops cannot withstand the amount of work needed to complete tasks. - there will be no growth within the department, and it's incredibly difficult to even try and get out of the department. Also, if you try to apply internally for other positions, you'll likely never hear from anyone about your application. It's like they want you to stay in your current position and not allow you to move anywhere. - if you need to go into the office, you will have to pay for parking. You will not be allowed to expense the parking. Some buildings have free parking, but others are anywhere to around $25 a visit. - overtime is frowned upon. work-life balance is completely skewed. Can easily work 14 hour days.
