Nightmare for anyone who has family (as in with kids).

Principal applications engineer

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Free access to gym...if you get the time to go there.

Cons

No respect for scheduled time offs. Rather than hire more people, they load you tons of work that had to be done simultaneously and on top of that, attend conference calls at night - without consideration for your family life. Overall, do not bother if you have children.

Business Outlook

Pros

Give a sense of campus at HQ. Good benfit like health care, gym.

Cons

All depend upon your immediate manager and his whims. No uniform culture, evaluation etc. If you get a crappy manager you life will suck. Also with IDC,CDC etc one is expected to work in the morning, during work hours and then again late in night. This is by default expected.

Oracle provides outstanding benefits, a comortable work environment and rewards top performers.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits. It pays to work hard. If you work hard enough to be in the top 10-20% of your group or organization it is almost always rewarded with a decent bonus, stock options or merit increase. Oracle rarely has layoffs, unless of course your company was just purchased by them. I have never feared for my job.

Cons

Depending on the project, the extra hours can start to add up quickly. Some senior management only manage up and don't pay enough attention underneath them. The company has grown so much it can sometimes be complicated to work with other organizations.
