Pros

Products are fairly easy to support. Co-workers are friendly and super smart. Solving issues and helping customers is the best part of the job.

Cons

Costs in benefits go up, and wages effectively go down (because there are no raises).

Vacation allowance is mediocre, with 3 weeks max.

No work from home. No flex time.

8-5 M-F in a cube.

Advice to Management

Advice to execs:

Quit putting so much emphasis on performance reviews. What is the point when you can't give your best people merit increases or even increases accompanying promotions?

You make pawns out of your managers to relay the bad news year after year.

Oracle has become an icon of corporate and executive greed in America.

Shameful.
