Pros

Working at Oracle was an honor. Despite being a fresher, my views were always heard, and I had the liberty to propose my own ideas for solving a problem. The faith that my seniors bestowed upon me, boosted always my moral, and made my workplace a sheer pleasure and exciting. Proud to work for Oracle!

Cons

Sometimes, the collaboration within business units may hamper productivity, but again, it is a completely understood since each business unit has its own priorities.

Pros

I have learned a lot about how to stifle innovation, inhibit sales productivity and lower employee morale to unbelievable depths during my time at Oracle. I can't get out fast enough and if I could advise my client base to do the same without risk I would.

Cons

There are just to many to list. If you are fresh out of school and have the stamina to learn while being taken advantage of then this is the place for you. If you are a manager who can sleep at night while your team is taken advantage of then this is the place for you. If you are a customer focused team contributor and passionate about delivering results then stay away from the big red machine as it will jade you into believing that all corporations are inherently greedy and dysfunctional.

Pros

- Work From Home (WFH) is nice. Everybody in my group works from home on average once a week - SPARC is an awesome architecture. Other products are equally innovative/complex - No layoffs - Good perks: free sodas, coffee, pool tables, ping pong tables in some buildings

Cons

- Not challenging enough. Company hires tons of NCGs so work is spread out, meaning that as an experienced engineer you dont do much. I guess this is a pro if you have a family or like time off. - No bonuses. Again, company focuses on hiring NCGs rather than giving raises. - Hard to move within the company. Jobs with more impact potential are usually taken by ppl with 10-15 yrs of experience. Not necessarily true in other big companies Ive worked for - Company is overwhelmingly biased towards hiring from one particular race (maybe cause most managers are from that race too?), at least in Santa Clara. This is a problem because there is a language barrier, most don't have good communication skills and know 60% english, at best. I always wondered how some of these engineers got through the interview process. Its shocking. I wouldnt be surprised if the interviews themselves were carried in their language. I am all about hiring ppl from any race (im monirity as well), but please make sure they know english and can communicate.
