Oracle

I was happy with my comp when I started, but raises are almost unheard of. So if you want more money down the road, you'll need to leave. Good health insurance options. Some groups allow you to work from home.

Oracle values stock price and technology, not customers or employees. As a result, you're not going to be working with people who are not excited to be at Oracle.

Mark Hurd is all about cutting costs and reducing employee count, so there isn't a lot of opportunity to move up the ladder. Because the company is so large, employees are not part of any decisions that impact them. Managers pass on messages from senior management, and employees are told, "This is the way it is, and there is nothing we can do about it."

You can value stock price, technology, and your employees.
