Pros

Smart employees, some very nice people in the lower ranks. challenging business problems to solve with software

Cons

Working on financial products at Oracle requires depth of business knowledge and a strong skill set, but senior management treats employees like numbers. Before I left I didn't have a raise for 6 years (I was paid 25% below market but my managers explained they had to give the salary pool to others who were paid even less). I also gave notice right when they were awarding bonuses, I had a stellar performance review and they completely yanked my bonus. (I was not surprised). Promotions are often awarded based on aggression rather than skill. HIghly political. The company is not at all innovative. If they had a successful app development strategy they never would have had to spend $5B to buy companies like Peoplesoft and Seibel. They should have won that space.

Oracle: sacrifice pay to work in a big company. Good for a few years of training and leave for better pay.

Pros

Oracle is a big, well-recognized, company with offices all over the world. It also has a lot of opportunities within the company that people can transfer between job functions. Oracle is a leader in most, if not all, the products in the market, and it acquired a lot of its competitiors in the last few years. Employees are working on the best products and technology, leveraging a lot of these from its acquired companies. Besides, Oracle has a wide range of customers from Fortune 100 companies to small or medium-sized companies. Thus, employees know they are building the best products out there serving the biggest companies.

Cons

Oracle offers very low compensation packages and provides very little career advancement guidance for employees. Managers are not well-trained to lead teams, and have very inconsistent practices on promotion.

Pros

Strong product stack which contributes to bottom line (more importantly Oracle's bottom line). Fusion makes for a startup atmosphere (so we don't have free massages and all you can eat buffets), a never-ending learning curve, entrepreneurial culture.

Cons

If you are expecting a guided career path or even a mentored career path, then this is not the place. Competitive atmosphere with a little bit of dog-eat-dog thrown in. But then you should go to IBM if you want someone to babysit you, I guess.
