Pros

Working for Oracle has made my resume more attractive to recruiters. Company values, compensation and training are pretty much industry standard.

Cons

Work-life balance depends on the position and division you work for. Benefits are decent, consistent with other big companies. Promotions are slow coming and the eligibility criteria is not that clear, this is probably also dependent on the division you work for.

Pros

Great benefits and stable progression. You knew what was coming as long you put your work in. Great transparency on promotions. Free gym and pool. Food was not free but still very good in the cafeteria. Flex time allowed to work at home or in the office. Remote work was actually preferred unless you wanted a desk. Company was very eco-minded.

Cons

Work was not meaningful and you didn't get to see your individual contribution towards a larger picture. Thing took 2-3 weeks to turnaround which is typical for a company of this size.

Pros

Work-life balance is great, no micro managing, and access to lots of senior people. But I'm in a unique position which allows that. I have a boss that give me autonomy, and support from senior leaders to act in the best interest of my program.

Cons

The internal bureaucracy is horrible. Internal systems such as expense reporting, procurement, tech support, and any other system for employees is garbage. Employee apps are crap, and internal software is dated and not intuitive. Compensation is slightly below average for tech companies, but not for other Fortune 500's
