Pluspunten

Not many pros. I suppose the benefits are good. Tuition reimbursement was useful. Training opportunities are great if you want to learn Oracle tech and your management allows you to train.

Minpunten

Oracle is becoming irrelevant and is grasping to rise back to its heyday but they are doing this with their old tactics of browbeating employees and customers and that's not the way things work anymore. There is a huge internal conflict between the newer OCI teams and legacy Oracle teams that fund the growth in Cloud. This is ripping the company apart. If you spend any serious amount of time here, it will damage your marketability on the open market. Much of the tech is not widely used and is not the latest and greatest. Managers and up do not learn how to manage and direct at a level that other companies are hiring managers (financials, project management, workforce management, etc) There is no real career advancement - titles might change for the better but the role stays the same. There are very few chances for lateral movement and even fewer chances for management promotions - unless you know a VP. Unless you are in OCI, there are limited raises and equity.

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.
