Pros

Brand value definitely is the top pro(for this reason alone you can take OFSS over other noname company paying say 1-2 lakh more). If you are lucky you might get good work(spring-boot/microservices). what they quote is what you get in hand. Good worklife balance especially for developers. Job security. Perfect company for retirement. Overtime pay is there. Good people mostly.

Cons

The chance that you will end up with legacy software written in PL/SQL. I did. (If that is the case then use your brand value and skills to get out within a year or so, or if you plan on staying do change your team). Pay is not competitive, even if you compare with Oracle India, OFSS in my time payed around 2-3 lakhs lesser, though if you are from IIT you can get packages above 15 lpa. For developers bonus is not timely, stocks are not given though you can opt for oracle ESPP. Consultants get timely bonus but their base pay is lesser. Also consultants have more work load. I had even heard of dry promotions, you get promoted without a hike. One guy I knew was also in same position for 5 years, higher management was not ready for his promotion due to his role being lesser even though he was a developer.

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.
