Pluspunten

I met some great people at Oracle, many of whom joined at the same time as myself, unfortunately we ended up bonding over how bad it was to work there.

Minpunten

I was hired as part of a change in hiring strategy - moving away from re-hiring people who had previously worked at Oracle to bringing in "fresh blood". Unfortunately the new processes to support this new strategy that were discussed during hiring process didn't materialize. Little or no interaction from Management - seemed to only be interested in securing their next promotion. For a software company their internal systems were abysmal. A 10 year old version of CRM and a HR system that looked like it was from the 1980s. I was actually paid the month after I left and when I tried to discuss this with the Oracle Payroll team their response was "are you sure you don't work here?".

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.
