      Oracle is a very nice company to work for.

      Pros

      Very flexible working hours and reasonable workload. You will work with other talented ppl and everyone is helpful and will share his/her ideas with you. You will be proud of your group. The time between your work and your family is well balanced. Things are pretty well planned and you will feel very stable working for Oracle. You will have enough time to stay with your family and/or enjoy your hobbies. Oracle also provides a lot of internal trainings to the employees to develop various skills. Not to mention the nice onsite gym that every Oracle employee loves. Someone likes the free lunch that is provided by some companies, but I'd rather have the time and flexibility to enjoy the lunch at home with the family.

      Cons

      It's a big company, so sometimes things are slow, but be patient, everything will go through finally.

      Oracle has strengths but could do so much better

      Pros

      Oracle pays well and has generally nice facilities, cafeterias, offices, and office services. Pay appears to be fairly high for the bay area. The company is recognizable and in the bay area has a high profile. Working at Oracle means your resume has instant credibility. There are tons of smart people here, the company is fairly aggressive about weeding out poor performers, or the lowest performer even if they perform OK. Working for Oracle, at least on the sales side you are on the short list for most customer opportunities. The Oracle name can get you in the door. Internal support for everything from coffee pots, VPN access, or any other trouble ticket works well.

      Cons

      Internal information access is awful. People are afraid for their jobs Some of the internal tools are dated. Sales folks tend to be a little arrogant.

      Big and boring, yet good pay and a nice gym.

      Pros

      I think the big name might help you to get some jobs further down the road. Also, the pay seemed at the higher end of the spectrum for comparable places for software engineers right out of college. The gym was very nice and not very crowded. The cafeterias are pretty good and the main buildings look nice from the outside. As a software engineer it appears that you never have to work too hard if you don't want to. It seemed like everyone in my group didn't work very many hours. Also, people worked from home regularly in a lot of the groups. I am young, so this doesn't affect me much, but I think people had a lot of time for their families.

      Cons

      I felt like the pace was very slow. Out of the three software engineers I know from before who worked there two of us ended up not really having anything to do and leaving before our year mark. I don't know if I have an opinion on whether it was hard to get noticed for doing good work. Even if you could get noticed for being good, I feel like doing work that was a substantial part of something interesting and innovative was not within the realm of possibility. The third software engineer I knew who worked there had a good amount of work to do that he found interesting. He never had to work too much and never got stressed out. As I said in another section of this review, the pay was good so the job was pretty promising to him. The workplace culture was very boring in my opinion.
