      Worst place in the world to work

      Pros

      There are no pros. I wish I could give it zero stars. I hated every moment of working there. The bosses were mean, the hours long, the pay not enough, and everybody's attitude was so negative.

      Cons

      They just don't care. People don't take pride in their work, they don't encourage each other, there is lots of back-stabbing, and lots of inappropriate, childish behavior.

      Pros

      I loved the culture at Sun. Sure it was confusing, changing, and difficult to keep track of things, but we all pitched in and we all shared the benefits or pitfalls. A lot of that culture persists but it's fading.

      Cons

      Sun had an egalitarian ethos. Oracle's culture is definitely authoritarian. The compensation scheme is manipulative in the extreme: in good years, one person per group gets a raise; we're all supposed to claw over each other to be the designated "hero". Otherwise you get bupkis even if you're good. Compared to Google, Facebook, or even Salesforce, it's a trap. The morale of the Sun division's workers is eroding year by year.

      Pros

      Flexible schedule, for the most part good co-workers. Flexible schedule....oh, did I mention that already?

      Cons

      Upper level management only out for themselves. Will throw any employee under the bus if it serves them. No pay increases (if you are hired be sure you are happy with your pay, because that is what you are going to get for some time). Much talk given about "employees are keys to success for company" but reality is employees are treated like interchangable pieces, with directors always looking for cheaper alternatives (hiring in China and India locations going up, N.A. locations going down).
