Pros

Since it is a large company, their benefits are very good. Unfortunately, compensation does not match.

Cons

They do not care how good you are at your job or how well you perform. They will cancel promotions and raises that you have earned based on the overall financial success of the 150k person company. "You performed well above expectations and earned a raise/promotion? We agree, but Oracle profits this last quarter were below what we forecasted, so better luck next year." I understand things happen business wise, but this happened 2 years in a row. This is the main reason I had to move on, This is only 1 of 100 miserable things about this place. They only care about moving ole Larry up the rankings of richest men on earth.

Pros

Very cushy at times, not super high pressure

Cons

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.
