      Good company to grow with, but exceptional performance is not being recognized.

      Pros

      The company is large, well respected, and it has a lot of opportunities. It also provides a lot of training opportunities. The benefit is one of the top among companies. If you are single, you pretty much don't need to pay for health insurance out of your pocket.

      Cons

      Salary is not competitive, and they promise you quarterly bonus, which only happened once in the past year. As a consultant, there is no per diem, so you basically having a pay cut. Communication from senior is not sufficient. A lot of time they decide one something and just simply ask you to do it without getting your opinion first... and this is decisions regarding technical solution. Imagine having management people making technical decision. Good performance is not being recognized. They'll tell you "good job" ... then just move on and keep quiet. This is wrong!

      Love it or leave it, it is what it is.

      Pros

      Oracle consistently pushes to keep consultants trained in the latest technology, and provides opportunities to exercise those technologies. Oracle allows consultants to take risks in order to succeed (or fail) based primarily on the individual's own performance. Oracle has no problem booting poor performers out the door. It keeps one pushing to stay on the edge. Benefits and salaries are better than average for the region. A good long-term assignment can make Oracle employment very rewarding.

      Cons

      It's not warm and fuzzy, it's competitive. It runs through cycles of collecting too many management layers looking for something to do (but cleans house by reorganizing annually to help shake them out). There is pressure to travel frequently and there are limited alternatives to excessive travel. It is often a place to learn Oracle technologies well, pay your dues, and depending on available assignments, just move on.
