Pros

Overtime is paid, bonuses are generally predictable Supportive management Work from home when not at customer site - at least in my department.

Cons

Anything outside database does not seem like the primary focus of technology products Fair amount of bureaucracy, although other large software companies I have worked for have been worse Products are good but not always market leading outside of database. Pay raises seem to be rare

Oracle Does Not Support Employee Growth

Pros

Lower management is usually friendly toward directs. The initial salary is enough to get you to walk in the door. The ability to balance work/life is great and there are opportunities to work from home when needed.

Cons

Oracle management does no believe in talent development--there are some very basic education classes and beyond that nothing. The initial salary is often your final salary, so long term employment for non-sales is out of the question. This approach is counter intuitive as Oracle is always in a cycle of training new employees and/or retraining employees brought over through acquisition. It is readily apparent that Oracle has a formula whereby they calculate the value of an employee, expected rate of return and cost of training a new employee, thus allowing Oracle to essentially carve out the need for salary increases, bonus structures, etc.
