Potentially a good place to spend a few years (four at most), but think carefully before you join. - werkgeversreview Principal Member of Technical Staff bij Oracle

Pluspunten

Superb work-life balance with a very flexible work schedule. Very professional company with competent, professional staff. Great opportunity for a self-starter to learn management and organizational skills.

Minpunten

Hiring process took nine months. Mentors are non-existent. Performance reviews are usually skipped every year, or not taken seriously. Very poor career growth opportunities. Project management skills are very poor across the board. Salary stayed the same the entire time I worked there, even though I outperformed every year - it's not unusual to be underpaid 20-30% after spending a long time at Oracle. Architecture is a decade old - which means few opportunities to learn new technical skills, and any advanced skills you have will atrophy.

Very cushy at times, not super high pressure

Minpunten

The actual software you're selling is low to mid tier software so hard to sell.

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.
