Pros

Not too many Pros; hours and workload vary widely; management is not really managing much; everyone is afraid of losing their jobs, no real innovation, constant cost cuts, no raises or bonuses in 4-5 years, but work-at-home is more then allowed, it is encouraged. Insurance coverage is actually pretty good.

Cons

Travel rules are impossible to deal with; Purchasing is designed so no one CAN purchase anything in reality. Expense reporting is also made overly difficult (I assume so employees will eat some expenses, rather then bother trying to expense them). No raises or bonuses in years. IT has plans at top level, but no one below Directer cares, after ever increasign workload on most employees.

Pros

Work from home option is widely used; benefits are reasonably good. There is not much else to recommended Oracle as a good employer; too much overhead and management levels.

Cons

NO pay raises. No advancement opportunities. Too many management levels; almost no real communication from upper management. Executives get high pay and stock options; workers get nothing. Stock purchase plan for employees is a joke. Morale is non existent at the employee level. We were told on the All-hands calls to quit asking questions about pay raises.

Pros

Lots of products to learn and Oracle will never go bankrupt nor will it ever get acquired. So all the things that you'll learn from work, you can use it forever.

Cons

Too many layers of products. As other companies get bought by Oracle, there are duplicate products for same industry and u need to constantly worry about restructuring.
