Pros

1. Powerful company with great access to the latest technology. 2. By IT standards the work environment is stable for technical persons

Cons

In an effort to have US based ORCL employees compete with ORCL employees in "low cost centers" wages have been frozen for the last 12 years for the lowest performing 90% of the technical employee population. (CON) That's hard for us techies like myself (a top 20% technical performer) who suffer with a dozen years of slowly falling standard of living. (PRO) This austerity program has at least kept us lower 90% technicals employed.

Good work/life balance

Pros

There is a good work/life balance, relaxed atmosphere. We do not work under pressure. There are deadlines but they are reasonable. Sometimes we stay long hours but it's rare. But do note that this is not in headquarters in US, but in Romania. Quite liberal internet access.

Cons

Our team is small, so no career growth opportunities. Salary increase does not even cover inflation, so over long term you loose quite a significant amount of buying power.
