Pros
Some teams have good WLB When you are a new hire you can have a deal above the market. Free access to O'reilly's online library. People in HQ have a nice gym Nothing else ...
Cons
- It looks like Oracle bet everything on Cloud. Only OCI people are appreciated, if you are going to non-OCI department, especially if it is legacy product, I would really doubt about accepting an offer. Other departments are non-appreciated. - If you are not OCI you will struggle to get salary increase. Get raise in Oracle it is always painful quest, ask employees. Having no hikes for years it is absolutely normal here. When you once receive 3%-6% after 3-5 years it will be shown as a great privilege. After 5 years salary becomes about twice bellow the market. Oracle does not care, if you you are non OCI - Oracle notorious for bad management. It is random you never know who it will be. I had good and bad experience. I worked for 2 departments: at the 1st one I had nice environment, at 2nd one I was shocked to see how such kind of people could take management position in Oracle. How it 's happened, cronyism? One moment, I was about make complains to HR but realized that would not helped, even made things worse. Although if you are in OCI most likely it will be fine. Because Oracle is cares about OCI. - You could work with legacy technologies, outdated stack. Ask more thoroughly on the interview about the project. On the interview it was shown as a interesting project, the reality turned out the different. - Many people mention good WLB in Oracle, it depends on the team for sure. I was not lucky to appeared in the good one.
