Pluspunten

- For most part, Oracle is still a great technology company. Some of the LOBs have a lot more autonomy than others and if you are in one of those LOBs, the day-to-day work is exciting and incredibly fulfilling - Benefits aren't bad, but make sure that your initial salary negotiations are done right as you will almost never get a raise these days - Oracle is a great place for good people who wants to tune themselves off after a few years of frustration. So, depending on who you talk to you might have a great work-life balance or none.

Minpunten

-Senior Management is a revolving door these days and the strategies keep changing. There is hardly any upward mobility in management as this helps executives to continue lying about the strategy and hide things from employees. - This used to be an engineering company. But now it's driven by sales people and lawyers. Engineering leads are mostly glorified Salesmen with the title of "Product Owners". They understand less and less of what it needs to succeed by bringing in cutting edge technologies - HR is a total waste. They should subcontract this work to some automated systems to save money. If your HR doesn't look out for employees, I'm not sure why they are there in the first place

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.
