Pros and cons

Business Outlook

Pros

Good healthcare. Flexible working arrangements (sometimes TOO flexible for team work)

Cons

1. Pay - 1 tiny pay raise in 5 years. Plus my salary is 20% below the Oracle average. Thereby effectively taking a pay cut with inflation etc. 2 Vacation does not accrue after 18 days PLUS this year we are having mandatory time off at Xmas. 3. Constant chipping away at little things (like above forced vacation PLUS taking away expenses for home internet connection) to save a small amount of money just alienates huge swathes of staff. 4. Management has no clue on how to motivate the folks below and only care about their OWN stock options and bonuses. We have seen way too many good technical people promoted to manager only to be a disaster in that role.
