      Disappointing, unless you're in sales don't bother!

      Pros

      Flexible working arrangements. You have an opportunity to work from home. If you work in Sales no limits on how much you can spend on your 'client entertainment'.

      Cons

      No salary increase until you try to leave. Your colleagues in the same position can earn more than you because that's what they got hired on. No career progress, no opportunities to grow. Only selected employees get bonuses with emails not to share that information with others (at least in my field) No structure and if you need to contact payroll or HR you are doomed, no reply ever!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Big Organisation, lots of technical stuff to learn Lots of challenges for new managers as Oracle is moving to the Cloud. Chances of jumping in and excelling are good. If you can learn technology quickly be sure that you will get a well rounded exposure

      Cons

      Many teams are short staffed as a result of attrition caused by minimal hikes

      Systems (former Sun) - Clueless management, unbelievable bureaucracy

      Pros

      Senior engineers left over from the Sun days are very cool people, and some are famous in Unix lore of old. Good work life balance; few deadlines; flexible hours and working from home.

      Cons

      I am a "software engineer" and maybe 50% of what I do is idiotic paperwork passed down from endless corporate departments and nontechnical managers and PMs. One coworker says that's closer to 90% of the job. Management is largely nontechnical and has no idea what is going on at any given time. They don't even know what features are in the product. Your manager's opinion of you will have more to do with your presentation and first impressions than any technical ability or performance. Raises have been nonexistent for 10 years. So many coworkers work remotely that those in the office might as well be - there is likely no one relevant to talk to! In my group, only new grads are hired (no one with experience) and furthermore, there are no technical interviews. So the average engineering talent is dropping. But it might not matter because so much of what we do is paperwork and attend meetings.
