      Decent place to work

      Senior consultant

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Many areas to wok in, so moving into new areas is never a problem. Lot of opportunity to learn from the strong community within. Management is decent, and work culture is pretty good. Oracle brand name is well recognized and will stand in good stead for the future.

      Cons

      Huge, so feels bureaucratic at times. Also, kind of a high end body shop really.

      2 yrs and go someplace else

      Manager in north america consulting

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits, self service oriented. Great training and experience but life span employment here is about 2 years. Oracle is all about churn and burning their employees. We have some of the very best and brightest people in the world working here and fantastic training programs. Chances are you wont ever meet those bright people b/c of our caste system. And the great training? You'll be so burnt out you wont have the energy to do any of it. Working here is like having a glimpse into Santa's workshop and seeing Rudolph. But you are looking in the window, never talking to Santa, or being acknowledged.

      Cons

      Reorgs every year with next to no communication regarding structure, reason and long term plan. Very short sighted middle management with next to nothing in communication. No raises. Oracle will churn and burn you. What makes you good is what makes you bad. Good things: reputation, intellectual capital, products, training, benefits, various perks. bad things: reputation - working with people who treat each other like crap because "we're Oracle" and this is how we do things. too bad if Mr Customer doesn't like it; intellectual capital - unless your coming from Stanford, MIT, Harvard or Wharton MBA dont expect to get all those special perks.

      Be very clear what you expect from working with Oracle.

      Pros

      As a technical writer, you can learn how to do it right and get the benefits from working with a group a professionals. Because of Oracle's size, you get to do one thing--write, write and write! You write for international audiences using a strict set "doc rules" which include adhering to style guides and templates. Once that discipline is "under your belt", you're good to work almost anywhere .

      Cons

      Because of the large size of Oracle (do I dare say, you're just a number), in many ways you are more dependent on having a good relationship with your manager. If your manager has minimal skills or simply can't manage, then you're really screwed.
