      Strong Growth Opoortunities for Self-Motivated People

      Product strategy director

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Oracle offers Incredible growth opportunities, both as a company and personally. Given its numerous acquisitions and license growth, opportunities present themselves around every corner.

      Cons

      Oracle is a very large, complex organization and can sometimes be difficult to determine where to go or to whom to speak for information and answers. The company relies a great deal on self-service, for things like HR and benefits enrollment, expenses, etc., but sometimes can be overly reliant on this - sometimes you just simply need to talk to a person.

      2 yrs and go someplace else

      Manager in north america consulting

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits, self service oriented. Great training and experience but life span employment here is about 2 years. Oracle is all about churn and burning their employees. We have some of the very best and brightest people in the world working here and fantastic training programs. Chances are you wont ever meet those bright people b/c of our caste system. And the great training? You'll be so burnt out you wont have the energy to do any of it. Working here is like having a glimpse into Santa's workshop and seeing Rudolph. But you are looking in the window, never talking to Santa, or being acknowledged.

      Cons

      Reorgs every year with next to no communication regarding structure, reason and long term plan. Very short sighted middle management with next to nothing in communication. No raises. Oracle will churn and burn you. What makes you good is what makes you bad. Good things: reputation, intellectual capital, products, training, benefits, various perks. bad things: reputation - working with people who treat each other like crap because "we're Oracle" and this is how we do things. too bad if Mr Customer doesn't like it; intellectual capital - unless your coming from Stanford, MIT, Harvard or Wharton MBA dont expect to get all those special perks.

      World class organization

      principal member of technical staff
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Oracle is a very stable and established company, which dominates the database market and is trying to grow its application business. There are many different groups and projects. In database there are a lot of hard core systems type development in good old C, dealing with compliation, optimization and execution of queries and DB supported languages. In apps you can choose to work on data modeling, GUI, business logic, etc. And also other groups like tools and maintenance, so there are definetely a lot of options. People can switch groups pretty easily. Ther attitude of most people is very professional.

      Cons

      Low bonuses and other incentives. Frugal spending. Slow promotions in some groups.
