Pros

Business solutions on Oracle technology; technology strong.

Oracle's cloud solution becomes more competitive. "Unlimited" time off and remote work are generally available for many jobs. Decent benefits.

Generally well managed. Cost is checked by various automation and self-help.

Cons

Salary lags behind inflation with limited year-to-year adjustments, even as a good performer.

Stock options are drying up; it seems that fewer and fewer middle-tier employees get rewarded.

  • 50% match on 401k up to 6% seems meager.
  • Totally hierarchical.
  • Teams are very distributed: US East Coast to West Coast, Australia, India, Philippines makes for long work days at least 3 days a week.
Advice to Management

Take better care of your employees, especially our top 20% performers.
