Senior management is cooperative and helping, Flexible working hours and easy to balance work and family life. Compensations and benefits are well satisfactory. Variety of products to work on thus reducing monotonicity. Frequent team outings and employee development activities. brand value is high and thus provides good exposure in the IT market. Good on site opportunities.

Cons

Too huge a company thus tour individual work might not be exposed properly. Flat hierarchy thus promotions take long. HR department is too slow and the employee have to wait for long.

Pros

Oracle is a stable profitable company with a good brand and reputation. The company offers excellent benefits package and fair compensation. Many office locations with a global presence and customers everywhere around the world provide ample opportunities to travel. A diverse set of product lines in many business units provide many opportunities to move to different areas of interest, although employees are required to stay with a job for at least a year.

Cons

Promotions to leadership positions tend to be bestowed upon those with the best social networks and not necessarily to the most skilled individuals. Most employees do not receive bonuses, stock, or stock option compensation for good performance. Oracle's size and market capitalization leaves little room for out sized growth.

Pros

Good name brand for resume. It is the best database, very useful to have oracle db knowledge and skills for other technology positions. Decent training curriculum for both technical and soft skills but recently cut back a lot.

Cons

Difficult to relate how your work translates into something that matters, takes too long to get adoption from customers. Constant supposed bakeoffs of technologies creates an insanely political environment, the best or most innovative technology frequently doesn't win, the most tenured or savvy leader does. Only one leadership style is highly rewarded, brash and ambitious.
