Pros

It's an amazing team with good communication and teamwork. Everyone works hard and does extra on bigger projects and attack projects as a team. Another pro is that Oracle is one of the bigger companies around the world, so it will look good on your resume for your next or future job. It is a great company to work at if you are joining as your 2nd or 3rd job in your career so that you are decently compensated already. Another good thing is that Oracle has the "unlimited PTO" as a benefit for salary employees, but it depends on your immediate manager to approve or not. My manager was amazing at allowing me to have time off when I needed.

Cons

The issue is that once you join Oracle at a certain salary, you are going to be stuck at that salary for a long time.

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.
