Pros
  • Good processes
  • Stability
  • Crisis management is excellent
  • LOB management up to several levels is great
  • Interesting work
  • Good work environment
  • Good supplies for the workplace
  • A ton of materials are available for self-education, both Oracle-provided and from other sources (like O'Reilly).
  • You can ask for paid trainings and conference coverage.
  • Free exam tries for Oracle certification.
  • Various employee support programs.
  • Real opportunities for career growth.
Cons
  • Salary is below average.
  • No flexibility in negotiating the salary; the only option is to get a competitive offer.
  • Paid bonuses are ridiculous and feel humiliating (like a $100 bonus for a 10-year employment anniversary).
  • A ton of bureaucracy.
  • Overboard-pushed D&I is somewhat present and keeps growing.
  • Higher leadership seems to be really far from the actual work and usually sets goals for entire business divisions that the smaller orgs have little to do with, but still have to align.
