Pros

Free sodas, drinks and training.

Cons

The whole Orlando Support management should be renewed and revamped. Passionate and hard working engineers. Fast paced and overloaded with work. More work and less people. Low salaries. Management and managers only care about numbers. Always cost cutting. No hike in salary. Burger King managers and management. Knowledgeable people either leave on their own or let go by the management. Good place for graduates and to gain some experience and to get the next best job.

Pros

Leading edge technology and good benefits

Cons

They do not seem to care about their customers or employees, only their stockholders. No raises or bonuses in over 8 years. They outsource jobs to foreign countries. Employees go through the effort of mentoring peers in foreign countries only to have their position eliminated. They layoff older and experienced workers to hire college grads at lower pay or outsource to foreign countries. Severance package is poor. Benefits end at midnight on the last day of employment. Maximum of 26 weeks of severance despite nearly 30 years of service.

Pros

1) The company is all hands to the cloud - and there is more interesting work underway. I meet a lot of veterans here who stuck with the company because of its ever changing landscape - unlike any other companies - oracle owns its stack - top to bottom and you learn a lot from each stack if you are in the right team. 2) Acquisitions doesn't hamper innovation - quite the opposite. You learn so many things from it - and at the some time you get to know how it can be improved, or what to pick from it to improve Oracle's existing process. 3) PLENTY OF TRAINING materials! Be it LVC, On demand or Instructor based - employees get access to those as long as your manager is cool with it. 4) Awesome gym / HQ atmosphere - nothing like it in the bay area 5) Engineering work culture

Cons

1) Internal tools are very old - and it takes so long to see them upgraded. (damn you Iprocure) 2) There is always a question between 'doing it the architecturally correct way' or 'doing it to meet the deadline' - and can be dangerous to find a middle ground for such cases. 3) Some product teams have a weird motto: 'if it works, why bother improving it?' which is one of the reasons Oracle lag behind competitors in terms of simplified interface
