Minpunten

Working for Oracle is hugely ike living and working in Kafka's Castle. The institution is so bureaucratic. Management is top down with little communication going back up the chain. Suggestions how the business should be run are not welcomed. Management cares little for the staff. You are treated like robots. Promotions are non-existent or they are meaningless job title changes. Don't expect a payrise. You won;t get one. Do not expect to be treated with any respect in this firm. It's very depressing and demoralising working here. Do not expect any payrises, not even for inflation. Oracle has bought up all the competition so there's little prospect of being able to move to another employer. They have a huge monopoly. This organisation needs a full and proper trade union to shake it up. There's no proper training. Do not expect to advance in your skills unless you are able to self-learn. Although skills, knowledge and experience are essential to this job, this employer has no idea how to value them. Management at all levels is incompetent. There are too many levels of management, staffed with people who do nothing, contribute nothing positive to the way the work is done. They add no real value. If you work in the EU expect that this employer is actively looking to offshore your job to a cheaper land. For this reason they really don't care anything about you or your contributions and ability. They want rid of you as fast as possible. You will not be replaced after you leave in this country. Oracle considers procedure to be more important than technical skill or knowledge. Teamworking is poor. There is no social activity. No Xmas parties, no nothing Most people are depressed. Most are resigned to the awful fate that has befallen them Altogether a huge negative experience working here.

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.
