Pluspunten

You can get to know a lot of ppl who are awesome at what they do and get their help if you want to really give your everything to get higher. Flexible timings and work. In my case, i was able to work when i liked and i never had a fixed 'in-time' or 'out-time'. Work is chill most of the time! except one or two days in a month when there is a priority bug! nothing wrong there! An ocean of learning opportunity with oracle University. It is free for you and you can almost go for all the trainings that are relevant to your work, or if your manager is okay with it! The company is doing well! if you are thinking about job security, then this is the place! they wont fire you that easily! one in a 10000 gets fired once in 2-3 years. Those are good odds.

Minpunten

no perks whatsoever! if you think the points mentioned in 'Pros' are good, then that's all you will get. If you don't ask, you are almost forgotten. The HR and the manager both point fingers at each other if we express displeasure with compensation. Young college hires will get the market corrected salary every year! But its almost a miracle if they correct your salary according to theirs! Even your VP if he comes and you talk to him about compensation, he will point his finger towards Larry Ellison or Safra Catz !

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.
