      Working at a Really Big Company

      Senior principal software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Oracle is a big company so its compensation and benefits are competitive. Other than the current exceptional economic climate, working at Oracle should be secure (provided that you do your job, of course). There may be pockets within Oracle where you can be doing really interesting work.

      Cons

      Oracle is a big company so its culture can be a bit cold and stagnant. My immediate supervisor was one of the main reasons that Oracle was a nice place to work. You have to put up with a lot of processes, many are questionably useful.

      Eyes Wide Open

      Marketing
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A great place to get in at the crack of 10, take a two hour lunch, and be done by 4. So very easy to retire on the job if you kiss the right a@@es. The executives have really, really nice exotic sports cars and they're cool to look at in the reserved parking spots right next to the building entrances, but they make sure you'll never be able to afford one. Ever.

      Cons

      Where do I begin? Bad pay, bad management, no opportunity for advancement (unless you are politically astute, but even that often backfires). If you don't have a technical degree, you are scum and treated as such. Way too many people doing the same thing you are doing. Enough deadwood to heat Siberia for years. Fiefdoms and territories that are defended with nuclear devices. Management just plain, flat out, utterly, completely does not give a s**t about you. Until it's time to lay you off. Then they're glad you're around so they have someone to chop.

      Typical big company

      Principal product manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good name on resume - helps with impressing recruiters (but not always companies). Depending on group, opportunity to learn.

      Cons

      Extremely political - competence is not basis for future - like most companies, true. Some promotion by attrition - easiest candidate gets the position, regardless of skill.
