Pros

Gym, Cafe, Parking, and Private Health Care.

Cons

Oracle Digital Prime = ODP = Get On Da Phones. Oracle has set up a new digital prime team with 40-50 reps most of which are not from the industry. Oracle has hired a new senior management based in singapore who expects the team to perform like machines and not like humans. Expecting high number of calls each day without focussing on actually closing a deal. Training is non existent for a such a big company. There are people here who have been here for many months and still don't know anything about product as there is CLOSE TO ZERO PRODUCT TRAINING. The team is expected to generate and commit to pipeline each month and expected to hit target each month pretty much from the first month itself. Team Leaders/Managers exerting a lot of pressure by saying that this is a start up. FYI - Oracle is not a start up...this is a new dept in a big organisation and should ease up and understand that a new team takes time to build. After having invested so much money in hiring people the least Oracle should do is look after their employees. There are already people who are looking out for jobs outside of Oracle and that seems to be pretty much the way things are going to go if things do not improve. I wonder if the HR Recruiters and Human Resources people at Oracle actually read the reviews at Glassdoor and would actually do something to improve the situation? At this stage I would NOT RECOMMEND joining this ODP team.

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.
