Pros

Work from home and if you want to be expert in politics and boot licking. Nothing precisely

Cons

Favouritism.Each manager has his/her own favourite cronies. Hostile and toxic environment with some managers are even ruthless physic. Most people who worked as contractors with Palerra here from service industry are made permanent and has spoiled the place. Recruitment is a joke here. Huge number of selective loyal people mostly contractors are being brought via got up and fake process so they remain quiet and loyal. No appraisal process, cronies selectively gets hike/stocks from time to time for being loyal, for others fake promises are being made and made to work till they leave. High attrition, if people are not boot lickers they are bullied to leave. All tall claims by the sr. director here in India failed flat and the product is hardly used by any customers , teams only do maintenance jobs and this is beautifully camouflaged by the sr director here as “important critical work to the business”. Consequently, there is a constant celebration of mediocrity in telling we are startups within Enterprise etc.. Passable / run-of-the-mill engineering outcomes are celebrated wildly.

Pros

-Telecommuting -Supportive Managers -Competitive Pay -Unlimited Vacation and more holidays than a lot of companies -Huge company with tons of opportunities--if you don't like what you're doing, there's probably something else you could be doing for the company -Administrative side of the company is far less political/territorial than other places I've worked All in all, coming to Oracle has been the best career move I've made. I plan to be here for a very long time, and it's not uncommon to have coworkers who have been with the company 20+ years. In the current job climate, that says a lot.

Cons

-Very self-service focused; if you don't possess a lot of self-discipline, this may not be the best place for you -Project cycles can be very long; if you're someone who likes to check something off the list and move on, there's not always a lot of short-term fulfillment -It's getting better, but internal technology and tools are not as good as the products we sell to customers.

Pros

Gym is nice. "Unlimited vacation" Work life balance can be nice, depending on department.

Cons

No pay raises at all. Zero. The "unlimited vacation" Is really just a grab to not pay out vacation days when you leave. Their vacation policy was garbage before this. There's no room for advancement. Someone basically has to die. Got a title promotion, which came with a very generous raise of $0.
