Pros

Stable company.

Decent benefits.

Some new technologies through acquisition.

Some training, depending on your manager/department.

Cons
  • Lack of raises.
  • Promotions do not come with a raise. In fact, I lost overtime pay with my promotion, so it was really a pay cut after all was said and done. I was very surprised!
  • Long-term Oracle employees (15-30 years) are mostly mediocre at best. Oracle red tape sucks the passion out of people.
  • Internal tools are terrible.
  • There is a lot of politics.
Advice to Management

Pay your people so that they will stick around. It is much less expensive to keep good talent than it is to train new hires. Raises for promotions are not a bad thing.
