Pros

Good place for early career, get a big name in tech on your resume and decent training for sales. In years past there were a lot of opportunities for fast upward movement and promotions

Cons

This company couldn't care less about it's people. It's a systemic issue and obvious at every level of leadership. They pay far below market rate for roles. If you see an opening at Oracle just know you can get 20-30K more for the exact same thing at a competitor. I would feel bad referring friends or family knowing they would be under paid. Sales goals are unrealistic given the industry and climate. They set reps up for failure from the beginning. The culture is toxic and not people centric (customers nor employees). I would tell everyone to strongly consider their mental health before working at Oracle.

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.
