Pros

Flexibility. If you are developers, then you can pretty much work from home since we can connect to the office machine via VPN.

Meetings can also be attended via conference call.

The benefits, such as medical and 401K, are pretty good compared to other big companies.

There are so many options for medical benefits, so you can choose one that fits you. The vacation is also pretty good since you do not have to report sick days.

Working experience differs from groups. If you are in the ST group, then consider yourself lucky since you pretty much get all the perks.

Cons

The downside is probably the lack of promotions and raises. Promotions are very hard to get since there are so many to-do list items that need to be checked off, especially in ST.

Since the company is big, you may feel your contributions are not significant, as you mostly work only on a small part of the product. But that's to be expected from a big company like Oracle.

Advice to Management

Add more promotions and salary raises. This will definitely help to keep talented employees in the company.
