Pluspunten

Nice office, flexible working hours - we're treated like adults, not clocked in and out.

Minpunten

No pay rises at all, not even enough to keep pace with inflation, despite being in a profitable part of the company. No bonuses, despite being told we're doing well. Oracle bought a small company and have introduced their culture. A you'd expect from a massive company, it's a pretty dull culture, and we have lost something intangible in the process. Probably not the best place to work if you want steady career development, or want to stay for a long time. Better to come, work for 2-3 years, then move on to something where the rewards are commensurate with the effort you put in. It's good to have a big company on the CV, though.

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.
