Pluspunten

I learned a ton about enterprise computing, data centers, applications, middleware, and how everything fits together. It's all very cool and high level stuff that runs the modern world.

Minpunten

I had an inexperienced manager, who gave very little direction on how to run day to day business. Basically it's sink or swim at Oracle - the training is not comprehensive enough to help you succeed. Oracle provides you with all the things you need to run a business, but no direction or guidance. Cold calling the same account list every week gets old very fast and customers hate it. Turnover is high as people get burned out from the grind. The environment is stressful as management is intimidating and not willing to provide structured feedback or coaching. Ultimately your territory dictates your ability to hit your quota. If you have oil and gas industry when oil prices are at their lowest price in 10 years, and your accounts are going bankrupt - your not going to hit.

Pluspunten

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Minpunten

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
