Pros
  • You can learn as much as you like
  • Good hours
  • Interesting and diverse work
Cons
  • As you get better at your job, your pay does not grow to recognize this.
  • New employees who know less than existing employees are paid much better.
  • Little chance for career advancement.
  • No incentive to move into new positions. You can move to a new section but have to move at the same level and pay.
  • It is normal for staff to go 3-5 years without pay rises.
Advice to Management

Value your experienced staff. Reward excellence and provide incentives to work hard and innovate.

I have talked to quite a few people who leave when they find out the person they are training gets paid more than them.

DON'T BE SO STINGY.

MY ADVICE

If you get a job at Oracle, DO NOT STAY MORE THAN 3 YEARS. Learn as much as possible and leave. Oracle will not look after you!!!
