Pros

Oracle is a juggernaut in the industry. Very successfully transitioning to be the premier cloud provider. Flex work allows people to work from their home office.

Cons

Customers don’t like us. Terribly bureaucratic processes that make customers jump through hoops just to do business with them. Focus is exclusively on revenue. The customer’s best interest is always put second. Oracle consulting services (OCS) has a terrible reputation with customers and software reps alike. Most software reps flat out refuse to include OCS in their deals because they’ve been burned too many times in the past. Most definitely make no distinction between leadership and management. Being a manager makes you a leader by default at the lower ranks when their role is purely to manage forecast and kick news up the chain of command. My manager has had 100% attrition on his team since he started in his ‘leadership’ role and the upper echelons refuse to acknowledge that he is the main reason that people are leaving. Constant threats of loosing your job, people are totally expendable. Condescending, arrogant and verbally abusive is a way of life at least in OCS.

Pros

Very cushy at times, not super high pressure

Cons

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

Pros

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).

Cons

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.
