Pros

Great benefits; overall culture in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure org of Oracle is community-focused (which encourages team communications and transparency); relatively easy to transfer between teams as desired; options to work remotely, post-COVID; many projects available to work on, so your career can be a bit self-directed by team; a good measure of autonomy.

Cons

Persistent issues with top-down communication and direction; no practical support or training for managers, so many poor ones here; whistleblowers tend to be punished; review and promotion system is very broken (and was skipped entirely in 2020), leading to a lot of resentment and frustration; focus on hiring devs from competitors over hiring quality candidates where needed in the business is also causing resentment and frustration; suffers from the same sexism issues as most of tech (women rarely promoted into leadership, women paid less than their male counterparts); high-level execs seems disconnected from reality and their employees (one recently announced that "cost of living has gone down this year" as justification for no one below a specific managerial level getting COLAs).

Pros

- Great introduction into the business world - Looks great on your resume - Work at a Fortune 100 Company - Great facilities, decent benefits - Great pay for entry level - Great opportunities for SALES POSITIONS ONLY

Cons

- Bro culture - Drinking and partying culture that is really just to test people while also encouraging people to never grow up and act like a college kid still - Lack of diversity in thought and in people. White bros everywhere. - Experienced harassment and had to listen to inappropriate, HR violating conversations throughout the sales floor. - Mental health may take a toll in this environment plus you are doing the exact same thing every day hoping to achieve different results... AKA the definition of insanity. - You are literally treated like a pawn in a big game. And you have no control over it and no say in it. Your voice is not likely to be heard. - "The only constant at Oracle is change" - they tell you that on day one and they are right. Every fiscal year they flip the company upside down and I went a whole month and a half to get paid to sit on my butt because I didn't have a manager, team, or job function assigned. - No opportunity to move across departments/lines of business. - Management and co-workers are all young: fresh out of college or in their early 20s. Need more diversity in thought with mixing age groups. - You will feel like you're stuck in college or worse, high school, with the amount of watercooler gossiping and mind tricks that management likes to play.

Pros

Stable company. Good work life balance.

Cons

Future in Australia not clear as many jobs has been moved to India. Every little thing require many approval sometimes up to CEO level. No clear decision making process. Many people with big titles and salaries are useless. Indian managers running the company and promoting people based on loyalty only. Hard to hire good people because of company reputation.
