Pluspunten

Market leadership, for one; Oracle continues to succeed where others have failed. Being the largest enterprise software vendor there are numerous opportunities for advancement and transfer within and between lines of business. A stunning campus and super-charged atmosphere of brains and motivation make for an unparalleled work environment. Nearly every job is self-starting, in that you are expected to innovate every day, and bring more value to the team, organization, and company as a whole. Oracle's cafeterias are award-winning as well, and as an employee you are on the inside of a market-defining company every day - hard to beat!

Minpunten

Large companies tend to lose track of individuals unless they promote themselves aggressively. And of course there is fierce competition for finite resources such as bonus and stock pools, title advancement, and recognition awards. Making it to "Sales Club" as a Sales Consultant is next to impossible, given that very few slots are awarded outside those who carry actual quotas. Benefits and perks have been scaling back ever so gradually over the past few years for SCs; travel has been scaled back, cubicle hotelling has swept the organization, and so forth, while management strives to wring every ounce of productivity out of the Sales organization.

Pluspunten

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).

Minpunten

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.
