Pros

Looks good on a resume.

Cons

Salary, Oracle will make absolutely sure you DON'T make over a certain amount of money as a sales person including changing comp plans numerous times throughout the year.. Incompetent management, very in-flexible. Individual contributors are treated badly and with no respect. They do not value human capital AT ALL. There is no freedom of speech at Oracle, once you enter an Oracle building you now have left the freedom of the Unites States and entered the dictatorship of Oracle. people are very afraid to speak the truth.

Pros

Benefits are good. Line leadership executives are often very effective and highly intelligent. The stock price continues to increase but HR receives little to no equity.

Cons

I have worked in HR at Oracle for over 16 years. I am a career HR professional that worked in HR Tech for a long time. The Oracle HR culture is the most ineffective, backward, inwardly focused culture most professionals in the field could ever imagine. The senior HR leadership group has been in place forever and are non strategic paper pushers. They know very little about Oracle's business nor do they care. HR is generally not respected by the line organization and is viewed as a necessary evil. Impactful innovation or close partnering with business leaders is viewed as "going rogue". HR leadership values rules, approvals, being "egotistically sucked up to" and never being viewed as making a mistake. Risk taking is punished. My big regret is staying here way too long thinking it would improve. I am planning my exit strategy. The interesting thing is that I have consistently been rated as a top performer. Fact check my review with other HR employees-most will confirm my assessment. Compensation is well below market.
