Pros

- Big company, lot of facilities, gym, nice campus etc - Each group has its on culture

Cons

- Some of the groups are modern sweatshops. Made people work 16 hrs across globe and weekends, but wont compensate anything..no raise or bonus of options for most of the employees. - Poor salary. New college hires will get more salary than an employ worked for 10yrs in some of the groups. - Some of the groups are heavely into process. They even forget what the processes are created for. Career - Promotions are given as replacement for benefits. If you know the management well you can get a nice title. Snr Management is rewarded at the cost of hard working employees. If you want to retire - this is the best place. 20% of the employees work like dogs, 80% is enjoy their life. its like big Federal Govt office. Innovation, creativity - non existent. Some of the management runs their groups like their kingdom. Rules are made on the fly.. HR has no role - Unless a manager want to screw up some employee. Then HR will in the forefront to help the manager. Customer support - Sucks big time. Most products are buggy because of over worked and low moral on employe side.

Pros

- Great colleagues - You could literally do nothing and make $100k or more based on pure luck. - Great leave time and vacation time.

Cons

- HOLY POLITICS! I've never experienced anything like what it is at Oracle. If you can't handle spending 5-10 hours per week keeping up on all the BS involved, don't come here. - You make less money the longer you're there and there's really nothing you can do about it. - This is not a career... it's the START of a career. You won't be here in 3 years that's for sure. You'll be managed out and/or just generally unhappy.

Pros

Big enough company that it will be around for a while.

Cons

Oracle is blind to the massive Cloud and SaaS changes going in the market place. They're just too slow to adapt and they can't just buy their way out of this one with acquisitions. Company is incapable of innovation for anything other than their DB. Bland, boring, culture. Creative folks are not part of the Oracle DNA.
