Pros

Solid Pay - beyond that there were virtually none

Cons

Extremely verbally and emotionally manipulative boss. This boss left the company mere weeks after I did. Horrifying mistreatment and awful communication, I do not know how this individual got promoted to the Director level they were at but it showed obvious flaws within the culture at Oracle. If that kind of horrifying treatment is being rewarded, I did not want to stick around and find out what kind of mismanagement was going on further up the chain of command. The stressful nature of the job often brought me to tears and I eventually was hospitalized with heart palpitations due to a panic attack as a direct result of the job. After a mere 3 months I was told I was "disappointing" and that I "never knew or cared about what I was doing" after making a minor mistake in a report I was presenting. My boss was the sole reason for all my hardship and after 5 months I decided to quit. Waste of my career development and set back my health greatly.

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.
