Pros

Some good work and interesting products, like Cloud. Work / life balance is good. Salary is competitive. Some people get stock bonuses.

Cons

Oracle is a giant company that doesn't care about you. If you / your project / your division fall out of favor, then buh-bye! Benefits are mediocre-to-bad. e.g. Very stingy on vacation days. IT / HR is mostly self-service, which means "figure it out yourself". Lots of acquisitions creates chaos.

Pros

- Legitimately great people in both quota bearing roles and directors of teams, who are trying to make the best of the scenario they are in

Cons

- Zero transparency from the AVP level and above down to Directors and Sales Executives. The result is that the sales team and its respective leaders were left searching for answers most of the time, which was evident right after the NetSuite acquisition - A business development team hired straight out of college that lacks the motivation to perform at a high level. There are rare exceptions within the groups, but most of them treat the position as a 5th year of college. Very common site on the floor for them to start cracking beers and slacking off by 1pm on a Friday - Micro-Managing directors that analyze each and every call members of their team, so much to the point of making quota bearing reps into pseudo-BDRs to set meetings for their directors, due to the lack of faith the director has in his or her team - An overall air of negativity that permeates around the office at all times

Pros

Smaller company feel and not a lot of bureaucracy or politics given the size (although that might vary from group to group). Great people, experienced, helpful - doing the right thing, not the expeditious thing. Until recently remote working was more common than office working. Great, very competitive starting salary

Cons

Raises and bonuses are rare. (Although I did get a raise after 3 years - people often go much longer without raises or bonuses.). New SVP is pushing for everyone to be located at HQ (or within low percentage for now) - so layoffs going on.
