Pros

Products are fairly easy to support. Co-workers are friendly and super smart. Solving issues and helping customers is the best part of the job.

Cons

Costs in benefits go up, wages effectively go down (because there are no raises). Vacation allowance is mediocre. 3 weeks max. No work from home. No flex time. 8-5 M-F in a cube.

Pros

Health cover is good. People on the ground are good to work with and very talented. Initial salary is good - but it wont change for a long time.

Cons

No chance of promotion. No salary increase for 6 years. Terrible culture all the way down from Larry. Terrible senior mgt in APAC (we now report into HQ via Europe). Large staff turnover and they just don't care, they let good people go all the time. They have no loyalty to staff). Worst company I ever worked for....but I'm still here. I don't know why (you'll hear that a lot in Oracle).

Pros

Compensation and Benefits match Seattle's competitive job market Holidays and vacations ? not so much. You get less holidays in Oracle than Amazon/Microsoft. Parking and commute are not reimbursed. Even the ORCA card is not free. You have to pay $350+ for your ORCA card. Work culture is a mix of Amazon/Microsoft/Google. Mostly everyone is nice and helpful. There are folks from F5 networks as well Everyone is super helpful and accessible. Kitchen is stacked with food/snacks/drinks

Cons

Since it a mix of different cultures and a relatively new organization, you can be caught in weird mix of people and cultures. Some of the people, especially from F5 networks seem to bring in a lot of negative energy and influence. They seem more interested in power games and putting down others, typically by exaggerating mistakes and embarrassing you. Stay away from these people. You can also expect corporate bullying and hazing if you have to deal with people from F5 ( the bad kind) Be very careful if you have to work with such folks.
