Pluspunten

As a technical writer, you can learn how to do it right and get the benefits from working with a group a professionals. Because of Oracle's size, you get to do one thing--write, write and write! You write for international audiences using a strict set "doc rules" which include adhering to style guides and templates. Once that discipline is "under your belt", you're good to work almost anywhere .

Minpunten

Because of the large size of Oracle (do I dare say, you're just a number), in many ways you are more dependent on having a good relationship with your manager. If your manager has minimal skills or simply can't manage, then you're really screwed.

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.
