Pros

- The three month long training program is a great way to understand and learn more if this is your first full-time job - Hybrid - Everyone is about the same age as you - good company to have on your résumé

Cons

- do not expect a full bonus they promise you - Oracle cut funding for all social events and there are no additional stipends like other companies - say you have 13 days of PTO, but the week between Christmas and New Year’s is required to takeoff so you only have eight days of PTO for the entire year - Pay is low compared to other companies - feels like college: you have to do group projects and get graded - Expect to make 100 calls a day and only 10 people actually answer - Pretty much a glorified assistant position - Lack of communication between managers - if you don’t have good reps, you’re not going to make a quarterly metrics

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.
