Pros

1. The work culture is centered on openness and friendliness. 2. Voicing of opinions and consideration of such opinions is a given. 3. Employee engagement is given high importance. 4. Less bureaucratic as compared to the parent company (Oracle). 5. Recognition is promoted as being a way of life here.

Cons

1. All major decisions concerning compensation and promotion should be run by the Top Management honchos. 2. There are instances where there is definite siding with 'indispensable' resources even when they are out of line. 3. The Consulting/Implementation part of the organization does have the 'unofficial' concept of 'bench'. 4. The divide between the Development/Engineering part of the organization and the Consulting/Implementation part of the organization is quite pronounced. 5. The Support teams are at times very unresponsive, which impedes timelines for the resources in Development/Engineering and Consulting/Implementation.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
