Pluspunten

The base salaries are higher as at the competitors. It's a good place, if you don't have any ambitions, and need a stable job with a good salary.

Minpunten

We were a small company bought by the Oracle one year ago. The main part of the company only sales the products, but we are developers. The infrastructure is bad, the expenses are minimized. (We were unable to buy a RAM modul even in our laptops within one year.) The bonus and salary changes are not based on your work, my manager is never asked. For example I've got a higher position for the same salary, no bonus. Everybody else got 10 percent annual bonus and 10% salary incrase remaining in the same position. Explanation: "Somebody made a mistake". :) It's true only for our small developer team. It can be different to work in the main part (sales) of the company. Maybe we can't fit into the organization.

Very cushy at times, not super high pressure

Minpunten

The actual software you're selling is low to mid tier software so hard to sell.

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.
