      It's hard to achieve a professional and career goals

      Principal software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It produces a very good products in different areas. I am working in Apps division and this division use many of Oracle's best technologies.

      Cons

      rules and requirements are not transparent and they are different for different people. Management is kind of random - they forget about people for a while and then produce some decisions.

      Flexible but compensation is lacking

      Principal software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexibility allows telecommuting, relatively low stress working environment, hour of working are flexible, project timelines are generous, product release cycle has been extended.

      Cons

      compensation is not up to standard, extremely bad ESPP progam where we only get 5% discount off stock but they keep our money for 6 months, poor bonuses, no stock options given to employees, hiring freeze has our department extremely lean, company is becoming so large with the acquisitions of different companies.

      Oracle is good for stability and flexibility, poor for compensation

      Principal software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Stability of Company - it's doing pretty well when others are being bought up Flexible work hours, at least for some teams, it depends on your manager. Knowledgeable people to work with, alot of smart people here Training Opportunities are good to increase your skills with classes and some money for education

      Cons

      Pay and bonuses are low, and you usually don't get regular salary increases, and if you do, it isn't much. Can be hard to move very far up and take on more challenges since it's such a huge company, so you have a lot of competition up the ranks. The Executives are paid way more than their peers at other companies, while the workers are underpaid, so it can make you feel very unappreciated.
