Current Employee – been working at Oracle full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – As with any employer, your experience is more a factor of who you are working with and what you are doing. In my case, Oracle has turned out to be the best job I've ever had. I avoided Oracle for years because of its reputation of such a hard driving, aggressive sales force. Instead, I've found a professional culture that respects and values the contributions of SCs. My products work, and they are some of the best in the industry. There is none of the "blame the SC" culture that I've found at other companies when things go wrong. I'm making as much money here as I've ever made. The benefits are some of the best I've ever had. My teammates are knowledgeable and helpful. The hours are reasonable, plus we make overtime due to Oracle's unique comp plan.
Cons – There is a definite competition between different sales groups as Oracle, specifically apps versus tech. That can make it difficult and frustrating for SCs who just want to get the job done while the reps argue account control and strategy.

Current Employee – been working at Oracle full-time for more than 7 years
Pros – A great pool of talent and Great benefits. Most employees work very hard and collaboration is valued.
Cons – Senior management's Machiavellian approach at trimming fat has meant losing a large pool of talented people to other companies. Middle management has almost no power to address any issues that are clearly seen from below senior management, yet that senior management is blind to.
Advice to Senior Management – Controlling costs is one thing but losing your talent and heaping workload on current employers, results in attrition and customer dissatisfaction.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
