Pros

Benefits seemed good. Access to training on Oracle technologies.

Cons

Oracle tech is not the leading edge and you will lose marketable skills working there. Even in management, there is no career development that will transfer to another company. Raises are few and far between and never touch everyone - high salaries, raises and options/rsu's are reserved for the elite in OCI. Certain high level execs manage through fear and tantrums and have no clue how to run a customer focused enterprise software/cloud services company. OCI managers will often call other teams in Oracle stupid and useless and old and that attitude pervades the organization and is reinforced by the OCI HR - which is a distinct org from regular Oracle HR.

Pros

Great people if you find the right organization to work with Oracle is a good stepping stone if you're out of college Health Benefits are great

Cons

Oracle decided to move HQ to Austin, TX which became effective late 2020. It was planned a long time ago so nothing to be angry there. Oracle is backfilling any departures in Austin, TX where possible. TX is employer friendly compared to CA. My review is from a non-OCI / non-engineering role -- this might not be applicable to you. Oracle is known for no pay raises. You can google it and it would be the top result. The average length of employees is around 2-3 years because they realized.. wow it is true. Time to find a better paying job. I have seen ex-coworkers get 40% raises by accepting outside jobs. I did the same. What's maddening is when I discussed pay with a peer.. I discovered that as a new hire.. I was paid more than him and he had been there 4 years already. Oracle doesn't value talent or loyalty. I have seen people request a match to stay but HR would say no. Your management chain will have no power. However, they would hire a total newbie for the pay that the person requested.. Oracle cannot retain talent. On blind -- I have seen someone polled offers between google and Oracle. all the Oracle employees said choose google.. you can chill and get pay raises. lolll it's funny how all oracle employees were on the same page. doesn't look good externally. Advice for anyone that wants a raise at Oracle -- apply to another position internally. That's the only way.

Pros

Initially, I thought pay. They managed to screw that up. 401k & health Benefits were very good.

Cons

In my experience this was the most Dysfunctional company I've ever worked for. Constant internal fighting for deals and stealing of deals. Other internal teams actively blocking you in accounts. Can't get commission checks right, and forget about base pay raises. Most customers hated Oracle. Typically because they felt they were cheated or abused by Oracle at some point. In my experience, their anger was usually justified. People/recruiters often commented they were surprised how long I'd stayed at Oracle as they have such a bad reputation in the industry. I recommend you look elsewhere for employment, and only consider Oracle as a last resort.
