Pros

Oracle has average pay and benefits. The company will allow some time off if you are really sick and need more than just a few days off.

Cons

No pay raises at all, ever! No promotions unless you are in the senior manager's inner circle. You can work your butt off and not get recognized. I have specifically recommended that my friends not apply to work at Oracle unless they are unemployed.

Advice to Management
  1. Develop a real set of metrics to measure employee performance and stop rewarding people who are not producing results.
  2. Pay raises must at least match the cost of living increases or don't even bother.
  3. Oracle is one of the most successful companies in the world. Act like it.
