Limited growth opportunities - focus on negotiating compensation

Pros

It is a good stepping stone for interns and junior developers, offering decent compensation for entry-level positions

Cons

Limited growth opportunities and challenges for senior professionals. Heavy focus on maintenance of legacy systems, with most work revolving around bug fixing and QA tasks. You may spend significant time on bug reporting and client issue reproduction despite being hired as a software engineer. Job descriptions can be misleading - positions advertised as Java development often turn out to be primarily PL/SQL and APEX work, which feels like a bait-and-switch. Quality Assurance tasks frequently dominate even in software engineering roles.

Pros

You meet some cool people. Basically feels like college 2.0. Moved from Florida after college knowing no one and met all of my best friends through this company.

Cons

I don’t even know where to begin. They throw you into the fire with little training or resources to be successful. They tell you lies in the interview- it’s a sink or swim environment!! Turnover is extremely high. If you aren’t performing within the first month, you will be put on a PIP and fired. Success here depends on manager. Huge disconnect between management and the actual requirements of the role. Have to work overtime to hit quota. Everyone is miserable.

Pros

Benefits were decent but not up to par with other tech companies in their industry.

Cons

Management is some of the worst I have ever worked for. They micromanage, no systems or processes in place, even the internal systems have constant errors which delay you from completing your job. Was told you cannot move to another role or promotion for at least 2 years, no bonuses and there hasn't been any raises in almost 4 years. Everything outsourced and overseas. Trying to get cross functional teams to work with you is impossible. Oracle is solely focused on their new healthcare acquisition and they do not care about the rest of the company currently which makes it extremely hard to get anything done.
