Pluspunten

Flexible timings and good work life balance. Sexist remark: "But its an amazing company for women". Carrier growth is faster if your perform. Subscription to good online resources if you want to learn. Work will be good if you are in a good team. Encourages higher education while you still continue to work.

Minpunten

The work life balance is a trade off offered for lesser than industry average growth. No wonder Oracle is a great grooming school for Amazon, Microsoft and Google and also IIM's. Legacy software maintenance, this can be a nightmare for you if you want to create something new. Most of the good teams (Server technology group) are in Bangalore and most of the R&D effort happens in the US. Campus recruits from tier one colleges are looked upon as candidates already having higher salaries compared to veterans. Don't expect to grow at-least for couple of years. Some managers also earn less than their subordinates. You can find managers with minimal technical know how and just gather updates. Don't expect mentor ship.

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.
