Pluspunten

You can easily pretent that you are working and nobody will ever notice.

Minpunten

Everything is overrated. Any silly, minimum effort is dressed up with words like "awesome", "impact", "mission", "Agile," persona", etc just to try to make it sound important and to motivate the employees. You can spend months doing (barely) nothing. But don't worry, a powerpoint presentation will make it look great. Sometimes we wonder what do PMs and UXs do apart from overselling results. The office has grown without any control. The great culture of the past is now lost, management doesn't know how or what to manage, Oracle's acquisition made things even more boring and slow. They thought that having an office at Torre Agbar would make them stand out, but hey, there are tons of IT companies with much better offices. Oracle wasted a LOT of money buying super expensive ugly corporate furniture that nobody is using! No, really, there are some "collaboration areas" with fancy sofas and chairs that are so ugly that nobody is even sitting on them. On the other hand, everybody is complaining about low salaries. We have always been discouraged to work from home, while management is never at the office. Some of the best team members left, people's motivation got even lower and the management thought that a team building activity would solve that. I am thinking of leaving as well. A lot of my colleagues think the same. It feels like a waste of time. But don't worry, the Oracle logo looks great on the LinkedIn profile.

Pluspunten

Plenty of opportunity to earn well over $100,000.00 with Standby pay and OT. Plus, mileage reimbursement of $.70 a mile.

Minpunten

Sometimes tedious work below what I would consider for an experienced FE such as hard drive destruction bin audits and checking in equipment.

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.
