Pros

In my role I worked remote. I met many great colleagues and long time friends who all have benefited from leaving.

Cons

I worked their for 17 years, had 3 Job Title promotions, more responsibilities, with very small raises & hardly any bonus’. Increased my salary over 17 years by $15K, in California and this economy; no 2nd thoughts when I was presented with a fantastic opportunity to do the same job I do today, and get recognized for doing a good job & working hard. Oracle does not value their employees dedication. There was no communication on strategies, goals or incentives to employees. It was discouraging when you don’t get a bonus or raise, but another company is acquired.

Pros

Met some nice people, WFH option, beautiful campus, cafeterias galore, lots of social/networking events.

Cons

This is specific to the org I was in as Oracle is obviously huge and Lines of Business often operate like medium size companies. There are hardly any women in senior leadership roles. Attendees at executive meetings are almost always Indian males. There is a long learning curve and peers are mostly no help. Executive Assistants are not appreciated for their true value and are just seen as "secretaries" by most. Think Madmen. If you are a career EA who likes to get lunches and start conference calls all day long this org is for you! Basically there is no career path for an EA. HR is not to be trusted. There is a culture of fear that starts from the top. Constant re-orgs and changes all day and all night long. Employees average a new manager at least once a year. Politics galore. Lots of gossip and talking behind backs with the EAs in this group.

Pros

Well known name. They have some decent products but nothing bragging about.

Cons

Out of all the professional jobs I've had this has to be the absolute worst. Working here for 2 years actually made me consider quitting sales despite being the top of my team of 60. Oracle customers absolutely hate them because they audit the hell out of honest customers trying to do the right thing and a main focus is to further vendor lock them in. When you sit in this seat you have to deal with customers screaming at you or flat out ignoring you. When you sit in the sales seat and not hear anyone selling anything you understand why Oracle's stock is tanking. It's only a matter of time. Oracle lost the Cloud battle. They've trained customers to not procure anymore of their products in risk of any future Audit.
