Pros

None. I was there for 3 years and didn't see any pros.

Cons

Dealing with Prime and Co Prime relationships as a sales rep (AE). When they introduce new products, they don't know how to set quotas. So they end up changing them every month/quarter/year. In addition, Oracle allows for other sales teams to sell on top of you. For example I was selling the CX Suite and they allowed the ERP team to sell into the same accounts and sell the CX Suite as well. And the CX team wasn't comped! There is a mass exodus at the end of every Q4 due to change in territories and quotas.

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.
