Pros

You get the name of Oracle added to your resume for next job hunt. 😀

Cons

Legacy technology stack. 😤 Hike is given like charity. 🪙 Slow in terms of adoption of new technology. 🐌 Worst work-life balance.🥺 Service based companies have better work life balance.😂 Even the Executive VP once told that Oracle is a Service based organization.😲 Get to work with managers who know to boast about the Oracle customer base and the name "Oracle".🧐 Most managers get work done by either threatening or scaring with the names of Vice President of Engineering🤫 No respect for Employees in India.😡 When you are leaving the company, suddenly they act to be concerned to just fill up some Excel sheets for justifying the employees leaving.🥱 The managers are looking for ways to shift the blame on other teams. Since the amount of work is unmanageable they just act as being concerned for the customer but soon forget unless the customer escalate the issue to Upper management. Upper management is afraid of their managers. Its just a Circle of fear which keeps the show running😱

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
