Pros

- Training is available though usually on your own time - Great Benefits - Ability to work from the inside, and learn the products - Great employees, access to development team - Job Security - Room for growth - Middle Managers will listen to your grievances, but can only do so much

Cons

- Very small pay raises, that will never keep up with their own pay brackets - Overworked, long hours, need to work well past your shift, and proactively on your days off to keep up, but limited in the number of hours you can log for Over Time, so you are not compensated for it - Management keeps adding more and more to the job requirements, that is taking the focus away from the core business - Products seem to be unnecessarily buggy when first released - Constantly being reminded how well the company is doing (revenue & market share), and how much "support" is generating, but not getting tiny focal (budget) increases for raises - Company seems to be hell bent on saving costs no matter what - There are many co-workers to that either do not care about the job, or are just not capable of keeping up, causing more workload / stress on top performers - Stress

Pros

Nice office, flexible working hours - we're treated like adults, not clocked in and out.

Cons

No pay rises at all, not even enough to keep pace with inflation, despite being in a profitable part of the company. No bonuses, despite being told we're doing well. Oracle bought a small company and have introduced their culture. A you'd expect from a massive company, it's a pretty dull culture, and we have lost something intangible in the process. Probably not the best place to work if you want steady career development, or want to stay for a long time. Better to come, work for 2-3 years, then move on to something where the rewards are commensurate with the effort you put in. It's good to have a big company on the CV, though.

Pros

Very flexible working in the company (work from home or office). Work-life balance somewhat depends on the software cycles as expected. Above average health plan, and about average 401k. This is a great company for someone who wants to have a relaxed life, BUT (see bottom of Cons section for the rest).

Cons

Talent is not abundant here. Due to the above, career advancements pace is rather slow. (continuation of last sentence).... BUT I do not recommend it for any top school ambitious college graduate. If you have a mortgage, kids, and want a laid back job then this place is for you. Just keep in mind: - career growth: almost non existent. -compensation: almost non existent. - Rewards for excellence: almost non existent.
