Pros

Great people, good pay if you get lucky.

Cons

In my time at Oracle I watched coworkers get emotionally bullied by their direct manager (regardless of performance, which in 2/3 cases was not an issue), saw a coworker get a promotion, then have it taken away from her after she had started the new role, I saw a guy with 0 integrity and pathetic quota attainment get promoted to field because he was a part of "the boys club," and day after day, saw shady field reps put their names on deals they had nothing to do with and rake in $10, $20, $30k checks while their hardworking inside sales counterparts get paid little to nothing on these same deals. This place is so crooked, and the management teams pretend they have no power to change it. Oracle is losing the cloud game. Oracle could not care less about its employees. The class of program is the biggest sham/waste of money I have ever, unfortunately, been a part of. Recruiters and interviewers lie about the BDC/SMD/SBD roles to get butts in seats because turnover is so high. Burlington, MA is a hell hole for millennials. I could go on forever....

Pros

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).

Cons

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.
