Pros

Good salary just during joining if you can negotiate , good work life balance and work from home if you are close to the director and his cronies . The senior director in India in himself works from home.

Cons

-Worst managers and senior director specially in India. -The product is a junk log audit product and no where among top casb in market. -Boot licking policy to get recognized , get stocks and to be promoted(There are few bunch of Indian managers and senior director, and some few engineers,CMTS , who are a cartel at the top , help each other and steal all benefits. If you are not part of this cartel you will be sidelined and forced to leave. -The team is full of 2nd grade contractors. -Performance is not a criteria to get recognized here. -Recruitment is a big scam here, not sure why oracle invested so much , to fill in the positions contractors, people close to the directors/managers are hired by fudging in interview feedback ignoring original feedback from interviewers so that they remain loyal to them. -Few old and new good talented people felt alienated by low quality managers and left due to the above. -The product is fast losing customers and new customers brought in by oracle is not using at all. -Managers are non technical and worst people managers , there job is only to lick feet

Very cushy at times, not super high pressure

The actual software you're selling is low to mid tier software so hard to sell.

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.
