Oracle

1. Brand recognition
2. Good starting salary
3. Great work-life balance
4. Lots to learn
5. Nice campus

1. There is no salary increase or bonus for many years, which hurts employees' motivation. Promotions are difficult to come by, and even when they do, the salary stays the same.

2. It's difficult to see or feel the impact of one individual's work because the organization is very large.

3. It's not a good environment for innovation. The company seems to follow a model of expansion or innovation by acquisition, thus it's not regarded as cool as Google, Apple, or startups, which makes it difficult to attract young talent.

4. Many managers are hired from outside, which creates difficulty for them to understand engineers' work because they have never gone through it themselves within Oracle's work environment and infrastructure.

5. Group politics and bureaucracy.

Respect, value, and retain talents, which are the most important assets to the company.
