Pluspunten

1) There are some very smart people working at Oracle.They have been there for a very ling time. During a project, you can learn a lot just by talking to the senior people who help you with your project. 2) Oracled database is a challenging product to work on. Kernel code has been there since 80s and one of Oracle's best success has been to keep this code pretty stable. Just browsing thorugh the code helps one build on his intellectual capital. Getting involved in some projects for Oracle's database related products is a great plus. 3) Oracle management is pretty OK with working from home. You can have a flexible schedule as long as you get the work done. 4) benefits at Oracle are OK.

Minpunten

1)In some groups, work is not allocated fairly. I know some people who have been at Oracle for a while but who have not done any major work. 2) Some people at management can be rude at times. 3) If you recently entered Oracle, then there is not much chance of a career growth simply because there are too many people ahead of you.

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.
