Pros

Met some nice people, WFH option, beautiful campus, cafeterias galore, lots of social/networking events.

Cons

This is specific to the org I was in as Oracle is obviously huge and Lines of Business often operate like medium size companies. There are hardly any women in senior leadership roles. Attendees at executive meetings are almost always Indian males. There is a long learning curve and peers are mostly no help. Executive Assistants are not appreciated for their true value and are just seen as "secretaries" by most. Think Madmen. If you are a career EA who likes to get lunches and start conference calls all day long this org is for you! Basically there is no career path for an EA. HR is not to be trusted. There is a culture of fear that starts from the top. Constant re-orgs and changes all day and all night long. Employees average a new manager at least once a year. Politics galore. Lots of gossip and talking behind backs with the EAs in this group.

Pros

Well known name. They have some decent products but nothing bragging about.

Cons

Out of all the professional jobs I've had this has to be the absolute worst. Working here for 2 years actually made me consider quitting sales despite being the top of my team of 60. Oracle customers absolutely hate them because they audit the hell out of honest customers trying to do the right thing and a main focus is to further vendor lock them in. When you sit in this seat you have to deal with customers screaming at you or flat out ignoring you. When you sit in the sales seat and not hear anyone selling anything you understand why Oracle's stock is tanking. It's only a matter of time. Oracle lost the Cloud battle. They've trained customers to not procure anymore of their products in risk of any future Audit.

Pros

Very broad and deep portfolio of IT products, solutions and services. Best kept secret is that the cloud applications (SaaS) portfolio is the richest in the industry. Oracle is also becoming very capable in IaaS and PaaS, in the main matching or exceeding any competitor's cloud services. Oracle hosting centres in place and growing. Oracle holds a lot of potential in the increasingly hybrid cloud world.

Cons

Oracle has a poor reputation with some customers and is the subject of some negative industry sentiment, which can be hard to stomach for employees of Oracle. Customer sentiment is mainly taking aim at *historical* experiences where customer perceives that Oracle has behaved arrogantly in commercial engagements. Oracle is quite rigid in terms of sticking to policies and internal processes, which often stifles employee engagement, trust and ability to engage with customers in a more responsive and agile way. Read your compensation plan carefully, negotiate your pay well coming onboard, salary increases aren't frequent occurences.
