Pros

At first I liked the prospects of working for a multinational corporation, now, a few years later I have changed my mind. Although the cafeteria and health benefits make it worthwhile for now.

Cons

The work environment is stifling with little job satisfaction. My colleagues with the same job title earn twice the salary for performing the same duties, many had the same start date and no more experience or knowledge than myself. Other coworkers with the same job title make triple my salary. I have been told by management that there is no room for advancement, promotion, or wage increase within my current department. However, you will not see the same dissatisfaction from my colleagues that hold the same job title of equal performance that earn twice my salary. Oracle management seems content to pay a portion of the department higher salaries to perform the same job that I do.

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.
