      Pros

      Leading edge of technology. Lot of oppurtunity for lateral move. The level of accountability was low . A large number of employees were added in India to take after hour work. Oracle lets employees work remotely which is boon considering the cost of gas. There are a lot of learning oppurtunities in Oracle.

      Cons

      Low salary. Promotions based on subjective reviews. No HR review. Jobs were moved to LCLM( Low cost labor Market) . That is how the technocal employees are treated( Labor ). Focus is too much on profitability and the employee benefits are being cut everyday. Off shoring is causing a lot of problem.

      Good place to retire

      Pros

      It's a port in the storm. While chaos reigns in Silicon Valley, Oracle has seen steady growth, and is a very stable company. Also, barring layoffs, it's very hard to get fired.

      Cons

      It's a very top-down command-and-control structure. Lower level employees don't get any authority. Pretty much everything has to be cleared at the top. This causes unnecessary delays, and results in lost opportunities in pretty much everything.

      Abusive boyfriend school of management. Message is: "You're worth nothing and you're lucky I let you stick around."

      Pros

      Smart employees, some very nice people in the lower ranks. challenging business problems to solve with software

      Cons

      Working on financial products at Oracle requires depth of business knowledge and a strong skill set, but senior management treats employees like numbers. Before I left I didn't have a raise for 6 years (I was paid 25% below market but my managers explained they had to give the salary pool to others who were paid even less). I also gave notice right when they were awarding bonuses, I had a stellar performance review and they completely yanked my bonus. (I was not surprised). Promotions are often awarded based on aggression rather than skill. HIghly political. The company is not at all innovative. If they had a successful app development strategy they never would have had to spend $5B to buy companies like Peoplesoft and Seibel. They should have won that space.
