Pros

They truly enable their people. You need to be a self starter or you will sink. Its a tough environment but its because of that environment that Oracle succeeds.

Cons

Stress. Its a highly competitive environment. There so much to learn and do and only so many hours in a day.

Pros

It's a job. The salary and benefits are decent.

Cons

Upper management does not seem to care about lower level employees. It takes FOREVER to fill an open position due to all the approvals needed all the way up the chain. Management can't seem to stay on a course, changes their minds all the time as to what direction to take with projects and assignments.

Pros

- Strong health benefits - Strong focus on bottom line profitability

Cons

- Complete management through fear, no decision making enabled at management or field level. All comes from SVP level and above. - No internal accountability, individuals are not driven to succeed just to avoid perception of failure which will lead to firing. - No risk / reward. "The nail that sticks up, gets hammered down" - Extremely compartmentalized organizational approach (no end to end ownership) - Very poor / non-existent internal communication, no focus on customer - President through VP level very commonly swears incessantly and berates management and field resources in individual meetings (ala. Glengarry Glen Ross). Very disrespectful. - Not a company that rewards top performers and dynamic problem solvers, intentionally drive those individuals out of the organization, so they can pay less for wheel-turners.
