Pros

Stability, Good Health Benefits, Oracle HQ Gym, great landscaping, beautiful campus. If you want to cruise in your career, concentrate on other things while still holding a job, this is the place.

Cons

Salaries are low, professionaly growth is bad, not a good place to start your career. No recognition for performing well. Rewards are hardly in line with performance. Management cannot explain why you were not rewarded even for doing well, low and middle management is pointing towards upper management (Maybe Larry is to be blamed for everything?). Employee moral is low, everyone talks against the company (but they still stick around!)

Pros

Working at Oracle offers a wealth of benefits... Here are a few to consider: First, you will benefit by having a top-tier software company, like Oracle, on your resume. Second, successful sales reps are compensated handsomely for their success. Third, the level of intelligence and experience of many of your coworkers and extended teams will be extremely high. And last, you will have good access to the executive level at many companies.

Cons

Oracle is a very complex organization. I do not necessarily see these as "downsides" rather realities... In a nutshell the challenges will come from the following: Acquiring 43 companies in three years does not come without complexities. Couple the acquisitions with the fact that Oracle is a "self-service organization" and you should plan to spend the first six months of your time trying to understand who, how, what system, what group etc. The quicker you map these things out the better off you will be. Oracle is a results oriented organization so quarterly pressures are standard. If you are looking for potluck lunches try another company. Larry is a strong believer in multiple sales reps calling on the same customer. This can cause challenges with customers and sometimes creates tension internally.

Pros

At least I got paid on time?

Cons

I'm not sure if it's management or the company as an employer but I found that this company's morals lacking. I was told that Oracle doesn't like things in writing when I asked to be directed to the policy that stated they weren't reimbursing remote employees for Internet.
