Pros

The pay is decent enough though you can get more elsewhere. If you work with the big accounts the job is very easy as most of them are so locked into Oracle there is no avoiding chosing them, if you cover SMB (tech GB as its known) you are in for a very long hard slog. Training is amazing and they do support you to grow professionally

Cons

You will never see a pay raise so make sure you get the best possible salary when you join. If you work in the SMB space its a very diffrent story Oracle hope to grow this area however they are priced out of the market, there is alot of stress on the SMB team and no clear direction from management every year they change the structure and hope the fall over one that works. Due to the size of the comapny it can be more difficult to sell a solution internally than to the customer and can (and most often is) very painful and slow. If you are considering moving from abroad to dublin to cover the UK (or any other as we cover most of europe) market, you should think again Ireland seems like it might be fun but its not, its backward, the cost of living is insane, dont get sick here either or you will be poor for the rest of your life, the one thing there is plenty of is drink, but even that is being shut now at 2am. If you are a family you are ok theres alot of countryside and the country is nice, if you are single think hard before commiting.

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.
