      Good company, but HR could be refined in a big way

      Development lead
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Oracle always leading Aggressive culture Big company benefits Surrounded by smart people Upper management has their act together Sales organization is world class Great gym if you have the time to use it

      Cons

      HR is disorganized - Appraisal, bonus, stock all on different cycles so cannot link together Always cost cutting to meet margins. Although you can do more with less in US, emphasis is to hire in lower cost areas to save money, when you are really making the US employees work twice as hard to manage local and abroad resources Top down approach. Less innovation from the bottom up. A hierarchy driven culture.

      Good place to retire

      Consulting member of technical staff
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Oracle is a retirement home. The majority of its employees are completely checked out and are in semi retirement. A 11 - 3 workday is commonplace. For folks who want to get a paycheck without doing any work, this is the place to be. The gym is pretty good and six cafeterias at HQ means that you have plenty of choices for lunch. I recommend building 600.

      Cons

      Oracle is extremely political, if you expect to be successful on the basis of the work you have done this is not the place. If you have reached Oracle via acquisition, good luck! Expect your former product to die a slow painful death. From an engineering perspective, this means no new features, just integration hell. If you don't want to become a vegetable, get out as soon as you can.
