Pluspunten

There are a lot of smart, good people working here. Plus, Oracle's business spans a lot of areas, giving you a lot of opportunity to potentially contribute.

Minpunten

I have never been at a company that made day-to-day productivity so difficult. Internal tools don't work, support is miserable, and intranet resources are disorganized. Also, internal bureaucracy is staggering. And I say that as a former employee of Microsoft. Management seems perfectly willing to chip away at benefits in search of a bottom line. As other companies are expanding parental leave rights, Oracle still has no paternity leave. They doubled healthcare deductibles last year. And most recently, they essentially furloughed employees over the holidays in an attempt to tweak quarterly earnings. Also, I didn't even stay there long enough to go through a review cycle, but word on the street was that raises/bonuses were virtually non-existent. Oracle is literally the worst company I have worked for, and that's especially frustrating because there _are_ a lot of good people there. It's problems are with management and corporate structure. Larry Ellison is not a good guy, and I really do think that trickles down into the rest of the corporate culture.

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.
