Pros

Flexible Hours (work from home or where you like). Good work/life balance. Talented and intelligent people to work with. Exceptional Health Care Benefits Flexible Benefits/Points to spend appropriate to your life stage in USA and UK (Not sure why Australia has is not doing the same) Highly capable, charismatic and respected ANZ MD appointed in Tim Ebbeck Strong brand Bullying dealt with quickly and effectively nowadays.

Cons

Employees not valued. Lack of transparency. Slow and faceless internal processes. (months and quarters sometimes). Autocratic processes require everything to go to Office is CEO. No local empowerment/autonomy. No Pay rises (not even CPI / cost of living) and no corporate bonus. Massive disparities in salaries for same job and no level setting process. Frustrating and Complex internal systems - harder every day to find current content. Desktop support inadequate - fix it yourself or buy your own machine. No on-boarding process - new starters takes 6-12 months to become productive. Customers frustrated with too many reps selling at them. Resent License auditing. Week partner relationships in ANZ.

Pros

Has a great name. Many groups, so you can move around to different teams easily. Work culture is ok.

Cons

Work full time in oracle for the last 15 yrs in development and then support. There are no hikes, no bonuses for the last 10 yrs. If you stay on your loyalty is actually a curse.
