Pros

Benefits are still competitive and salary is average.

Cons

Oracle is not what it used to be. Accountants, admin and beurocracy rule the company and there is little room for creativity. Employees do not matter at all. The sun acquisition and the hiring of Hurd will prove to be our downfall.

Pros

(Mostly) fun people to work with Easy work - repetitive Work/life balance

Cons

Oracle doesn't care at all about morale - as a result a lot of the company is unhappy and looking. Turnover has been high, and will only get worse. Many key employees are leaving/have already left. They'll ask you to take more and more work on, but you'll see nothing in return. No promotion/raise for ANYONE, Oracle has taken snacks and the holiday party away. They've also forced PTO for all employees, where we must take our own vacation time during a specified period. This affects the bottom line, which impacts stocks, which fuels CEOs bonuses. They saw a huge increase, all employees saw nothing. Management is flustered. Take care of your employees, and they'll take care of you.

Pros

Good stepping stone for furthering your career. It's a stamp on your resume and a right of passage many people in the tech world have to go through. Good learning experience. The people.

Cons

First of all, they don't understand how to keep good talent. It's literally impossible to get a promotion or a pay raise. They don't even do cost of living raises. If you want to work there, keep in mind it's just a stepping stone...if you like working there and want a promotion or raise, you will have to leave for awhile to get the money you want and then go back. That's how most people get promotions there. It's the culture. Actually working there is nearly impossible because of the outdated technology and processes. Employees spend most of their time trying to navigate and learn the complicated systems. If they would use some of the new software they've acquired they might be better off. Proof that their systems are outdated: I've been gone for more than 3 months and I still can't figured out how to get my final expense report paid for! I'm about ready to just pay it myself. It's so frustrating. However, even if the technology was used properly, management would prevent any sort of easy experience for employees. There are so many layers beyond layers of managers, it's hard to keep it straight. They promote people into management, not based off of their leadership skills but based off of their numbers. It doesn't matter if someone has leadership skills AT ALL to be a manager there. They practice an all carrot and no stick sort of leadership at Oracle. I would say those are the top 3 cons but I could keep going...
